After leaving the port of Cape Town and the Cape of Storms (Cape of Good Hope) keep a good watch for the mythical ghost ship “The Flying Dutchman”. According to legend, a cargo vessel in the 17th century, under command of Captain van der Decken, was lost at sea during a ferocious storm near the Cape of Good Hope. Ever since, there have been reports of sightings even by renowned persons such as the King of England, George V. These sightings are not limited to the Cape Town area only as the ship is in an eternal search for home. However we hope not to see the vessel as it is seen as a portent of doom in ocean lore.
