Of course, if Walt Whitman taught me anything, it is that knowledge ruins Romance. I suppose I took on the role of the Learn'd Astronomer on this one.

It still sounds cool. I mean, I know you're trying to save us all the trouble of tetanus and mold infections and dead sailor hauntings, and that's cool of you, but I still want to go see for myself. Sorry.

If you actually board one of these drifters, you will immediately want to leave. Just sharp rusted points, mold, rotten organic materials (of all sorts) wet, and draft.

I used to accompany my uncle on salvage trips in the summer, and I have seen a few of these first hand. Nothing romantic about them...they are better in books, or at best viewed from a few miles away, through a thin mist.

I doubt it would be safe to board, anyway. The motor is sure to be inoperable, and getting it going would be the only way to make it safe. Even if there was something of value to recover, better to sink it and dive for it later.

#4 Ghost ships have a history as literary symbolism, Google is your friend.
