Maine Maritime Museum Hosts Nighttime Tour

A ghost yacht named 'Katie' was discovered adrift off the coast of Wicklow, Ireland, after previously being found empty in Wales. Meanwhile, the 'RMS Niagara,' notorious for sinking in 1940 due to a Nazi sea mine, remains a topic of intrigue as the ecological implications of its wreckage loom. In Bath, Maine, the Maine Maritime Museum is inviting visitors to explore the darker tales of maritime history through a spooky 'Dead Reckoning' tour, complete with ghost stories and restricted access areas. Additionally, Chatham Dockyard is hosting a unique performance titled 'Ghost Ships,' which combines local talent and diverse dance styles to explore the dockyard's maritime history. While the dockyard's show aims to recount important narratives, there are concerns about its clarity and focus on historical context. These stories collectively highlight the enduring fascination and complexities of maritime culture.
