A ghost ship

#thenetherlands
I am fascinated by legends, occult and mysterious, every country has its stories that fascinate the inhabitants and tourists. The cinema also shows many legends, one that has captivated is the story of a ghost ship that sails the oceans without being able to reach port and which is central theme in one of the movies of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga is actually taken from a legend in the Netherlands, that famous ghost ship called the Vliegende Hollander or the Dutch Flying in English, has transcended from generation to generation, captivated and fascinated, where maritime activity abounds, perhaps more than one will have claimed to have seen it, although in the film his captain is named Davy Jones, the story reviewed about the same talk of a bourgeois captain of Holland called Willem van der Decken , who made a covenant with the devil so that he could always sail the seas no matter what natural challenges God put in his journey, as punishment for such daring is condemned to sail eternally without direction and without touching land, other stories tell about the suffering of a certain disease that contagion the entire crew condemning it to sailing the seas because it was prevented from reaching port, this legend like others enrich the cultural heritage of the region, making it more attractive and interesting.

I imagine that's where the saga of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was inspired. In addition to other film products.
