Explanation

The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship said to be doomed to sail the oceans forever, never able to make port. Richard Wagner composed an opera titled 'Der Fliegende Holländer' (The Flying Dutchman) in 1843, based on this legend. The Mary Celeste was a real ship found abandoned, but not associated with Wagner.
