Riassunto

There are few images more chilling than an abandoned ship drifting alone at sea. Ghost Ships is an anthology of the best true-life—and sometimes, still questionable—accounts of vessels that, for whatever reason, never made port. These stories demonstrate that the real mysteries of seafaring life are even stranger and more unnerving than any fictional account
