Haunted Ships of the North Atlantic [Paperback]

Robert Ellis Cahill (Author), Leigh Deacon (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1997

They say the Atlantic Ocean is the most temperamental of the seven sisters. Unpredictable and full of fury, but in her wrath, she provides many bizarre, and often macabre sagas of man’s will to survive. This book contains tales of terror, which are filled with intrigue and suspense, and all true. Perhaps the vessels mentioned here are not haunted, but merely victims of unusual circumstance of coincidence. Possibly these are but illusions of superstitious seamen, but in each case, the Atlantic Ocean has prompted the events that are recorded on these pages, and only she can provide the answers to these mysteries.

From the Inside Flap

INTRODUCTION

Nothing is more mysterious than the sea, nor as treacherous.In her fathomless depths, she holds a multitude of secrets, which she occasionally reveals,sparingly and reluctantly.Her sunken carpet is strewn with old relics,once wonderous vessels that disappeared from the surface of the sea,often without leaving a trace as to where or why they vanished.With them perished the souls of those who left behind unfinished desires and dreams and the embrace of cherished loved ones.Even today,we hear the names of those so recently departed,and beside the names we read"Lost at Sea."Do their restless spirits, one wonders, still ride the swirling currents and rolling waves, and is it their voices we hear crying out in the shrieking winds of gales and hurricanes?
