The Flying Dutchman, according to folklore, is a ghost ship that can never go home, doomed to sail the oceans forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes glowing with ghostly light. It is said that if hailed by another ship, its crew will try to send messages to land or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom. From Wikipedia under the

Q. i was just wondering :) ...so does anyone know? Asked by Queen of Halloween - Tue Jul 18 01:57:35 2006 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. The legend of The Flying Dutchman is said to have started in 1641 when a Dutch ship sank off the coast of the Cape of Good Hope: Captain van der Decken was pleased. The trip to the Far East had been highly successful and at last, they were on their way home to Holland. As the ship approached the tip of Africa, the captain thought that he should make a suggestion to the Dutch East India Company (his employers) to start a settlement at the Cape on the tip of Africa, thereby providing a welcome respite to ships at sea. He was so deep in thought that he failed to notice the dark clouds looming and only when he heard the lookout scream out in terror, did he realise that they had sailed straight into a fierce storm. The captain and his… [cont.] Answered by dragonsarefree2 - Tue Jul 18 02:02:46 2006 Why is the Flying Dutchman called that? Q. I was wondering...why "flying"? Ok, if it's the name of the ship, it can mean it's "fast", but I've heard her Captain is also called by that name. Ok, let me clear something up. I don't have any problem with the "Dutchman" part! Just the "Flying" part bugs me. Asked by Mahyar - Mon Dec 29 13:36:04 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. This might answer your question. Answered by ben dover - Mon Dec 29 15:04:05 2008 PIRATES 3 question: can someone explain the flying dutchman curse? what happens to will and elizabeth?
Q. i dont get it.. does will continue sailing on the ship, coming on land for one day after every 10 years? or is it broken after ten years and he can live with elizabeth? does it have anything to do with their relationship, like davy jones with tia dalma/calypso? Asked by ganjuhw33d - Sun May 27 23:52:48 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Will DOES return 10 years later, after the credits roll and Elizabeth and their son are waiting for him. And he IS now free from the curse. Some people think he is still cursed but that is not true. The producer had to remove some footage and for some reason left out a very important part. This is what Jerry Bruckhiemer said... "Twenty minutes were removed, not including end credits. One scene cut explained that if Calypso had greeted Davy Jones after his ten years of ferrying dead souls, then he would have been freed of his duty: in turn, Will is freed of his captaincy as Elizabeth remains faithful to him ten years later." God only knows why he cut THAT scene but Will is free after his 10 years. thank god.
