Found this lying in my dads library- and it really wasn’t what I expected it to be. There isn’t much in the story dedicated to the actual ghost ship, sadly. If it had I probably would’ve liked it more. 

Wouldn’t recommend reading it for the sole fact that it has aged terribly in a lot of ways- perhaps especially in its racist views.
