@RED DEVIL

Why the end of the world mate ... or is that the beginning of the end of the world ... no! ... the end of the beginning of the end of the world .... yeah mate that's it.

but is it the start of the beginning, the start of the end, or the end of the beginning before the end

of the big bang?

It's a reference to scene in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

I've encountered her twice, but never have gotten as close to her as you have. She shows up on radar if memory serves, which is a trick in and of itself considering she is a wooden ship!

First time I saw her, I was just checking out a contact that I was certain would be a friendly ship- since I was in friendly waters at the time- I was quite surprised when my mystery ship turned out to be the Flying Dutchman!

Due to the cannon, no doubt.

If you get close enough to her she will stop and if you are to close to her bow she will back away from you. Wooden ships are not hidden from radar. I was on a wooden hulled minesweeper in the Navy. While wood may not reflect as well as metal it's mass it still visible on radar.

By the way if you wish to take some photos of the Dutchman just to play around with them you can create a mission and simply add her near you at any place and any time on the map.
