The Phantom Ship (1839) is a novel by Frederick Marryat. Inspired
by the legend of the Flying Dutchman, a fabled ghost ship doomed to
sail the seas until the end of time, The Phantom Ship 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 Flying Dutchman, 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 Flying Dutchman. 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, The Phantom Ship 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 The Phantom Ship is a classic
of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
