Mysteries of the Sea Vol 2: Ghost Ships & Desert Galleons | Unexplained Maritime Disappearances Throughout maritime history, ships have been found drifting with crews mysteriously vanished, leaving behind half-eaten meals and personal belongings undisturbed. The Mary Celeste in 1872, the Carroll A. Deering in 1921, and even modern vessels like the Kaz II in 2007 share the same eerie pattern – perfectly seaworthy ships abandoned in an instant. Some ghost ships reveal more disturbing scenes, like the Ourang Medan, where an entire crew was found dead with faces frozen in terror. Others seemingly travel through time, appearing decades after their disappearance or in impossible locations. Most fascinating is the legend of a Spanish galleon found deep in the Mojave Desert, miles from any ocean. These maritime mysteries span centuries and oceans, reminding us that despite our technology, some things remain beyond human understanding. #GhostShips #MaritimeMysteries #VanishedCrews 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Ryan Fitzgerald Nate Lata Brandon Snyder Joe Stone Producers: Erik Anderson Haley Burke Jen Gentile Victoria Young Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

Nothing chills the spine quite like a ship sailing with no crew and no answers. Ghost ships are like the ocean’s way of reminding us we don’t know jack about what's beneath the waves... or who’s still sailing them.

Really odd how many of these happen with food on the table. It's almost like whatever causes 'em doesn't have a problem with seagoing vessels but has a REAL problem with lunch.

I am a retired Navy submarine officer. I found a ghost ship through the periscope. It was a dual outboard center console. We radioed a nearby vessel to investigate. No one onboard. It was left floating in the middle of the Atlantic.

The moral of these stories is that if you ever travel by ship, don't eat a meal.
