The Flying
Dutchman is a lost, or ghost ship that has been cursed and must sail the
seas for all of eternity. The legend first came about when it was mentioned in nautical
folklore in the 17th century, the time period in which the first
part of the book is set. The common belief is that the ship was cursed by God
when it’s captain blamed Him for his misfortune. Many, many stories have been
written about the Flying Dutchman,
but Jacques’ story is unique in that it focuses on two imaginary stowaways
aboard the doomed ship.
