Summary "The Ghost Ship: A Mystery of the Sea" by John C. Hutcheson is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around life aboard the SS "Star of the North", an ocean-going steamer, focusing on the experiences of the young fourth officer, Dick Haldane. As the crew faces various challenges—including distress signals and supernatural elements at sea—the tension builds around the mysterious circumstances they encounter. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene aboard the ship as the sun sets dramatically, hinting at the impending storm and chaos that will follow. From Haldane’s perspective, we learn about his recent promotion and his excitement, tinged with anxiety about his first significant voyage. As the evening unfolds, Haldane sees a ship in distress, raising the alarm only to be met with skepticism from the crew, many of whom doubt his account due to their inability to see the vessel themselves. This introduces an intriguing conflict of belief and perception, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery and supernatural occurrences that Haldane and his fellow officers will have to navigate amid the challenges of their maritime journey.
