The Flying Dutchman by edward arlington robinson

Unyielding in the pride of his defiance,
Afloat with none to serve or to command,
Lord of himself at last, and all by Science,
He seeks the Vanished Land.

Alone, by the one light of his one thought,
He steers to find the shore from which we came,—
Fearless of in what coil he may be caught
On seas that have no name.

Into the night he sails; and after night
There is a dawning, though there be no sun;
Wherefore, with nothing but himself in sight,
Unsighted, he sails on.

At last there is a lifting of the cloud
Between the flood before him and the sky;
And then—though he may curse the Power aloud
That has no power to die—

He steers himself away from what is haunted
By the old ghost of what has been before,—
Abandoning, as always, and undaunted,
One fog-walled island more.

Yep, just a sutble joke by the developers. First time I came upon it I tracked it via the sonar for hours.

I have only seen her once. Makes for some good port conversation at the bar.

yeah the flying dutchman did occur to me as well...but is this a known 'feature' do I get to claim first sighting ?

One of the guys I was playing with the other night claimed he had seen the Kraken in the game too. I asked him to send me some pictures, but still waiting on them.

That's nothing, mate. Once on a visit to Scapa I saw Elvis Presley feeding Nessy from the shore. Too bad I didn't take a screenshot.
