SS Bannockburn: Ghost ship of the Great Lakes: The terrified captain yelled to the sailors on the bridge to "brace for impact!" Slicing through the fog at a brisk pace was a steamer which seemed totally unaware it was hurtling towards imminent collision. The desperate captain hailed them with morse lamp and finally a blast from their whistle. There was no response from the approaching ship. Then, suddenly she veered to the right. The skipper and his deck officers became overwhelmed with fear as they watched and saw skeletal faces peer out of the unknown vessel's portholes. But what induced even greater fear was the name across the mystery ship's bow: "Bannockburn." When they returned to port, few believed the crew's tale. The S.S. Bannockburn went down years before the war, skeptics insisted. The captain stood by his story. As the months and years rolled on, other mariners came forward with similar tales of seeing the legendary lost freight known as the "Flying Dutchman" of the Great Lakes appearing in the haze before vanishing back into oblivion. thedailyobserver.ca
