Within a year, several different crews had attempted to board the ship, all to no avail. Several years later, in 1935, Captain Hugh Polson attempted to board the ship, but was unable due to icy conditions. Nevertheless, the ghostly ship sailed on.
Similar reports and sightings of the SS Baychimo continued to pour in over the proceeding 38 years, right up until 1962. Then, in 1969, the ship was spotted for the last time floating in Alaska’s Chukchi Sea. While the Alaskan government launched a search for the ship, either floating or sunk, in 2007, it had yet to yield any results.
The SS Baychimo might never be found, but its legacy will live on forever. How wild is it that it sailed for so long, seemingly crew-less?
