Flying Dutchman

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This story reminds us of an American legend of the Hudson, related by Washington Irving in his early tales of the Dutch in New Amster dam, of which legend there is still a reminder in Spuyten Duyvil Creek. It also brings Cole ridge's Ancient Mariner to mind. That mariner is under a curse and must pass like night from land to land. Recall the description of his vessel.
