SS Baychimo

The SS Baychimo is a famous ghost ship that was abandoned in 1931 but continued to be sighted along the Alaskan coastline through 1969. It was originally a ship that served on trade routes for the Germans in World War I but was given to the United Kingdom as war reparations. On a voyage in 1931, the ship became trapped in pack ice and the crew disembarked. A few days later, it was sighted 45 miles away. Eventually, the ship was abandoned entirely, and was seen 300 miles away a few months later. It was never able to be completely salvaged, and these sightings continued over the years until it’s last confirmed sighting in 1969.
