The rugged Maine coast has long been a backdrop for tales of triumph and tragedy, where the echoes of history crash against the jagged cliffs like restless waves. Maritime lore is woven into the fabric of the region, just as deeply as its ghost stories—but what happens when the sea refuses to let go? When history and hauntings merge, leaving behind a mystery that lingers in the fog and whispers through the tides?

Set sail into the spine tingling legend of the Dash, one of Maine’s most infamous ghost ships. Once a feared privateer during the War of 1812, this swift schooner reportedly vanished into a storm—never to be seen again. Or did she?

For centuries, local sailors and fishermen have reported sightings of a spectral ship gliding through the fog, its ghostly crew standing silent on deck. Some say the Dash returns for the souls of her lost crew’s descendants, a harbinger of death lingering along Maine’s mist-laden waters. Others believe the ship is cursed, bound forever to the tides, never able to reach shore.

Join Reverend Redbeard for this immersive look into the dark legend and history of Maine's most notorious ghost ship as we uncover the haunting tale of the Dash, from her triumphant days as a privateer to her chilling disappearance—and the eerie sightings that continue to this day.
