Hell Ship - The Flying Dutchman
 |
When an ancient document, written by Tom Hardy, the cabin boy aboard the Fortuyn, surfaces, it reveals he was the sole survivor of the stricken Dutch East India vessel and the gruesome events he witnessed that claimed both vessel and crew. Because the terrible events he witnessed onboard were too fantastical to be believed, Tom kept the truth a secret. However, in an attempt to quell his reoccurring nightmares, he wrote down the events leading to the demise of the crew and the Fortuyn. It is believed by some that the Fortuyn is the lost ship that haunts the seas and has become known as The Flying Dutchman. Centuries after Tom’s death, and keeping his original title The true catastrophic events of the Fortuyn as witnessed by Tom Hardy, the sole survivor from the aforementioned vessel, the truth can, at last, be revealed. A ghost ship, also known as a phantom ship, is a vessel with no living crew aboard. These encompass ghostly vessels from folklore and fiction, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste. In maritime folklore, the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, has had an impact like no other lost vessel. It has inspired numerous paintings, films, books, opera, etc. The alleged captain, Van der Decken, was on a heading for the East Indies when a ferocious storm overwhelmed them. With sheer determination, he tried to steer his ship through the hostile weather conditions the Cape of Good Hope was famous for but failed miserably even after he vowed to drift until doomsday. Legend declares that since then, ship and crew have been cursed to sail the oceans for eternity. To this day, hundreds of sailors are credited to having witnessed the Flying Dutchman continuing its never-ending voyage across the waters. Tom’s account of what happened aboard the Flying Dutchman, however, is considerably more chilling.

Fantastic "This book was fantastic! I couldn’t stop reading. I loved all three stories, but especially The Lighthouse. I am eagerly anticipating the sequel. Hammott has become one of my favorite authors."
3 Tales to chill your bones "Yet another excellent novel by Ben Hammott , tales to send chills through your bones each set in a Maritime environment and differing time frames."
Awesome horror sea stories "These stories were wonderfully written and since I love horror, and I love sea stories, I found this book with the three stories the best! I think I loved the first one (The Derelict) the most but it is difficult to say because all 3 are spooky and awesome. I would love to be able to read more stories like this!"
Just excellent reading material for any night "I write VERY few reviews for any of the books I read but I loved the sea theme in each story but....please please please continue the story in 'The Lighthouse'. Characters are well defined in a short time so you care about what happens to them."
