Ghost ships, английский
There are several types of maritime apparition. some are thought to warn of coming disaster while others recall earlier tragedies. the block island phantom does both. some, such as the cursed corsair, the flying dutchman, and the japanese yureisen, are sinister specters that appear out of nowhere. others were mystery ships like mary celeste, discovered intact with crew mysteriously vanished. and some appear to be explicable phenomena such as the chaleur bay phantom and jenny the glacial ghost. interestingly, some 90 percent of all phantom ship sightings are between the fortieth and fiftieth latitudes.
Get cracking, английский
Now meaning to push ahead, this term derives from the days of sail, when a shipmaster in a hurry would raise so much canvas that masts and standing rigging became taut to the point of creaking and cracking.
