Mysterious Ghost Ships

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start the show off talking about how their editing computer was not working and has delayed their workflow. Then, they get into the news. After the break Kyle brings up a recent story about an abandoned ship that has washed up on the Irish coast. The abandoned boat was spotted on the rocks of fishing village Ballycotton by a passerby. The vessel appears to have drifted thousands of miles over more than a year, from the south-east of Bermuda in 2018, across the Atlantic Ocean.

Then he gets into more bizarre ghost ship mysteries. Including one of the craziest “The Baychimo”. Built in the early 1920s this is one of the real-life ghost ship which was, in 1931, became trapped in the pack-ice near Alaska, leaving no hopes for the owner Hudson Bay Company but to abandon it. However, amazingly it remained adrift for the next 38 years and was frequently sighted floating aimlessly in the waters off Alaska.
