To begin with, I was intrigued by the title....

Some stories were harrowing, some were spooky, and some were a let down.

Much of the "nautical" stuff was a bit boring & confusing and too in depth, but in other places there was just enough information to give one a good idea of what was going on....

It took me a long time to read, and is only available in Paperback... I also would have liked more photos.

The title pretty much says it all. This is a collection of stories of various types of ships that have disappeared or had some kind of disaster befall them. Of course, a disaster can then potentially result in ghosts in some cases.

It was ok. There was some sail-speak that went over my head. Also, because the stories are so short, if I lost focus even for a short time, I really ended up missing a lot. As with a book of short stories, some were more interesting than others.

A bunch of maritime accidents strung together with unsupported speculation regarding supernatural, paranormal, extraterrestrial and inter-dimensional influences. Silly if taken at face value, but a degree of interest if considered as a kind of modern folklore.
