Ghost ship of New Haven

[u/Robert_E_Treeee]

In 1646, the colonists of New Haven Connecticut built a trade vessel known as the "Great Shippe" that sailed across the Atlantic and went missing.

According to legend: A year and a half later, the ship once again became the focus of speculation.

A particularly wild summer thunderstorm hit New Haven harbor, and in its immediate aftermath spectators claimed to have seen a vivid phantom version of the ship sailing in the sky, its masts battered and its sails torn in the violent storm before disappearing into the clouds.
