Ghost ship. Marriet F.

“Ship Ship” (1837-1839) of an English writer, a naval officer and a traveler, the classic of the adventure prose of Frederick Marriete, who became famous under the pseudonym, Captain Marriet, is perhaps the most famous literary variation of the old legend about the “Flying Dutch”, mysterious. A sailing ship without a crew, which for centuries wanders around the ocean spaces, never pestering the shore and terrifying navigators. The main hero of the novel, the young sailor Philip Vanderdecene, will have to remove a terrible spell from his father-capitalized, who once recklessly gave a fatal vow on a sacred relic, and then, being in swimming, in a moment of despair he erected a blasphemy against the Lord God and thereby condemned himself and his own and his own. The team for eternal wanderings - however, getting rid of the curse is not at all easy...
