A Ghost Ship
As mentioned above, there are numerous tales revolving around the sea, pirates, treasures, and sailors. Along with that, there are many stories related to “ghost ship,” that seems to be unreal but are very much true. The ship villagers just had spotted, had one of these amazing stories associated with it.
Strange Sight
The onlookers couldn’t spot anyone onboard. So, was there no one on the ship? If yes, then how was it drifting so clearly towards the shore? There were many questions that baffled the public. They waited for the vessel to come near them.
Calling The Police
The coastguards arrived on the spot at once. The ship was not very far from the shore so they decided to get near it on their own to check if everything was fine with it. The coast guards jumped into the ship after getting closer to the vessel. They learned that the name of the ship was Sam Ratulangi PB 1600. The revelation made them go weak in their knees.
Without A Trace
The ship had disappeared without a trace decades ago. Strangely, no one got to hear about it after it sailed off, let alone seeing. So why did the ship come out now? Sam Ratulangi was tasked with transporting heavy amounts of cargo from one place to another. The ship came into existence in 2001 and served for eight years until 2009 when it vanished into thin air.
What Went Wrong?
The ship remained out of people’s sight for nine years. Nobody knew, how it got strayed and survived the harshness of climate. Though the ship was discovered off the coast of Yangon, a commercial hub in Myanmar by fishermen, there was a lot to answer. Somebody needed to investigate the matter.
For Nine Years
The ship had been sailing for nine years. As the ship was continuously functioning without a rest for almost a decade, it looked worn out. However, the vessel had gone rusty and dirty with the time that added to its spooky look. Getting on that ship involved a lot of risks as there was no trace of sailors or passengers.
