Summary "And We Sailed the Mighty Dark" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novelet written in the late 1940s. The story revolves around themes of adventure in space and the exploration of human emotions against the backdrop of a lost ship and its haunting history. It presents a blend of speculative elements with vivid characterizations as it navigates the vastness of deep space. The plot follows Jim Sanders and his companion Pete as they embark on a journey through the remnants of old ships in a graveyard on the outskirts of the solar system. After Jim's streak of bad luck in gambling, he decides to purchase an old spacecraft, convinced it will lead them back to Earth. However, upon takeoff, they encounter bizarre phenomena, including a vision of a mysterious woman, which turns out to be an illusion created by a creature known as a mirage pup. The mirage pup remembers a girl who died on the ship long ago, manifesting its memories as real figures and places. As the story unfolds, they confront both the trials of their physical journey through space and the emotional weight of lost love and memories, leading to a poignant conclusion as Jim reconnects with the past and finds hope for the future.
