36. The Dash: Maine's Ghost Ship

They called her fast. Unstoppable. Untouchable. But in January 1815, The Dash—a sleek Maine schooner fresh off privateering duty—sailed into the Atlantic and vanished without a trace. Sixty men aboard. No wreckage. No survivors. Just a legend.

For over two centuries, coastal Mainers have claimed to see The Dash return in ghostly form—appearing on the horizon when one of her long-dead crew’s descendants passes away.

In this episode, we dig into the chilling history and eerie lore behind The Dash, Maine’s most famous ghost ship. Was it a victim of hubris? A maritime tragedy? Or something stranger still—cursed to haunt the coast forever?
