The Mystery of the Ship that drifted during 38 years

  Appearance on the Canadian shores of the Japanese fishing boat that disappeared a year ago when the tsunami devastated coastal regions,reminds us the mysterious ships. 

  Beyond the legendary ghost ships, many abandoned ship without crew wandered the seas and oceans. One

of the most spectacular cases is Baychimo, a freighter that remained stuck in Arctic ice in less than 0,62 miles from the north coast of Alaska in october 1931. As you can read the blog Digital Abadia, his crew decided to leave the ship and take refuge in the nearby town of Barrowbecause of the storm. When they returned, after two days, the ship disappeared. For weeks, they explored the area in search of the boat butgave up later. In November, after a snowstorm, Hudson Bay Company, the cargo owner, decided to abandon researches, believing that the ship was sunk. However, a few days later a Inuit boat which hunted seals found Baychimo vessel over 43 miles of Barrow. They have takenseal leathers from the boat and thinking will sink, left it adrift. This legendary ghost ship had 229 feet long and weighing 1,322 tons. For decades, explorers, traders and Inuits saw itʹs silhouette on the sea. Last time it was located in 1969, near a floating ice in the Beaufort Sea. In 2006, the Alaskan authorities have started an initiative to locate remains of the ship, floating on the sea or lying on the seabed. So far, thesearches remained fruitless.
