Few ghost ships provide as many warnings of their curse as the Baychimo, a Swedish cargo steamer which was abandoned due to un-sea-worthiness, and re-boarded several times due to the ship's resilience. Each time the ship was thought to be unsafe, it soon healed itself and tricked passengers to come aboard, only for them to have to flee the ship again.
The Baychimo was initially abandoned in October of 1931 when it became stuck in ice. The crew left the ship but reboarded it when the ship became mobile. A few days later the ship again became stuck in ice and about half the crew were airlifted to safety. Some time after, the Baychimo was spotted with it cargo intact, yet the other half of the crew had mysteriously disappeared.
After this incident, the Baychimo was seen countless time at sea and was frequently boarded by sailors thinking they could tame her. Always, however, they were driven away by bad weather or erratically malfunctioning equipment. The Baychimo was left empty at sea where it floated around for 38 years before being seen in 1969. The ship is likely still drifting on the waves, and is waiting to be discovered again.
