They Left Their Ship in the Ice. It Kept Coming Back.

In November 1931, the crew of the SS Baychimo watched a blizzard swallow their ship. When it cleared, she was gone. Everyone assumed she had sunk. Instead, she was seen again and again for the next 38 years — drifting through the Arctic with no one aboard. This is the true story of the Ghost Ship of the Arctic: the captain who warned she wasn't strong enough, the hunters who were trapped aboard her in a storm, the botanist who climbed onto her deck in 1933 — and the question nobody has answered: where is she now?
