Book Description
A ghostly schooner glides through the mist off the coast of Maine. A Connecticut lighthouse keeper continues to guide ships to safe harbor nearly a century after his death. Pirate ghosts wander the Rhode Island shoreline in search of salvation. These are only a few of the strange but true stories of New England's phantom ships and the spectral seafarers who haunt the shadowy cliffs and moonlit coves of the Northeast. Tales of ghost ships, haunted lighthouses, and other nautical nightmares are a deeply rooted aspect of traditional Yankee folklore. Some of these legends can be traced to genuine shipwrecks and historical events, while others remain a mystery, shrouded in rumor and lore. However, one fact is undeniable: these terrifying phantoms have been witnessed by countless people over the centuries, from common sailors and fishermen to celebrated scholars and heads of state.

Book Description
During the year 1629, a pirate ship called the Salty Dog sailed the seven seas killing and looting every ship in its path. The Salty Dog’s reign of terror lasted for seven years before it was sunk by another ruthless bunch of scallywags manning another pirate ship called the Scallywag. Captain de Plank and his men felt confident that their ship the Scallywag would be able to rule the seven seas longer than the Salty Dog but just as the Salty Dog met its fate so shall the Scallywag. The Scallywag’s reign of terror on the seven seas only lasted a year longer than the Salty Dog’s did but not because another pirate ship sunk it but because the Scallywag’s ship was poorly maintained so when the next fierce storm came upon them it was a definite sink.
