Inspired by the legend of the \u003ci\u003eFlying Dutchman\u003c\/i\u003e, a fabled ghost ship doomed to sail the seas until the end of time, \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Ship\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of adventure and Gothic horror from an author who served for decades in the British Royal Navy. Philip Vanderdecken had always feared this day would come. Raised by his mother in Terneuzen, he had grown accustomed to life without a father. During a voyage around the Cape of Good Hope, the elder Vanderdecken condemned himself to an eternity at the helm of the \u003ci\u003eFlying Dutchman\u003c\/i\u003e, a legendary vessel doomed to sail the seas without ever touching land. Now a young man, Philip is informed by his dying mother of the possibility of saving his father by letting his spirit rest. Terrified, he promises his mother to carry a relic of the Holy Cross across the globe until he can find the \u003ci\u003eFlying Dutchman\u003c\/i\u003e. He joins the Dutch East India Company and sets out at once on an adventure filled with romance, magic, and unimaginable horror. Poorly reviewed upon publication, \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Ship\u003c\/i\u003e has endured as a cult classic and continues to be adored by generations of loyal readers. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Frederick Marryat's \u003ci\u003eThe Phantom Ship\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Vanderdecken, a young Netherlander, has long dreamed of rescuing his father.
