message: Could a disease be the cause for some origins of this story? For example, the book "Principles of Virology" by Enquist, Krug etc... state this on page 5. It might be interesting to put up that connection between a disease, a missing crew, and a "ghost ship". I did not find the origin though, but I did find another article: http://yellowfever.lib.virginia.edu/reed/data/0f669b9a960ba3b2912165fe58860259.html and the pic of a transcript in 1931 http://yellowfever.lib.virginia.edu/newreed/images/large/KAMD1170.JPG
I believe this should be mentioned in the main article, perhaps with one short sentence about "origins" or similar? 80.108.103.172 (talk) 17:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

message: It says this story first appeared in print in 1795  and then a bit later in 1821.  So which is it ?Eregli bob (talk) 13:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  First published when ?

message: Who was this man? Did he ever existed? Did this ship ever existed, is there any evidence of such ship, leaving the shore, or even being builded? Is this just a myth invented by some mitomans? Was this ever checked, that such man ever lived? If not, then whole thing is just a myth, a story, told to those who easily believe any story?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.49.117.181 (talk) 03:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

message: It seems as if this was originally a description of the ship, rather than the name which would have been painted on her.  So should we follow the same principle as with the Fireship of Baie des Chaleurs and the Ghost Ship of Northumberland Strait, and not use italics?  Or has 'Flying Dutchman' 'become' the actual name of the legendary ship over the years?  Or am I being pedantic? Alekksandr (talk) 19:26, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say that technically per MOS:ITALIC it shouldn't be in italics since in fact it's a nickname that appeared later, which refers to the ghostly soaring, while the ship's actual name (as far as I know) is unknown, so I wouldn't object deitalicization.

message: Why do we have a number of Wikipedia pages covering the same subject topic??, I mean even if the first "Flying Dutchman" page is an old revision of this one, why can't we work to improve whatever is there instead of creating many pages with the same subject topic ?

message: Not once is the type of ship stated. Surely any seaman would immediately recognize an Indiaman, and call it thusly. An Indiaman is implied as it's photographs are included, but not a single primary source (you know, the real kind, not the Wikipedia primary source of blogs and blogger-'journalists') states so much as it's type of rigging - which is incredibly unusual.
Secondly, an issue is with this comment;
:records the following for the pre-dawn hours of 11 July 1881, off the coast of Australia in the Bass Strait between Melbourne and Sydney:
The Bass Strait is between Victoria and Tasmania, a small region of sea between mainland Australia and the Tasman shore. The sea between Melbourne and Sydney is the South Pacific Ocean. It cannot be the 'bass strait' and be 'between Melbourne and Sydney' that would be like saying 'It was in Italy, between Canada and Mexico.' The two places are nowhere near each other, and NO seaman would make such an error.

message: :Nicholas Monsarrat, the novelist who wrote The Cruel Sea, described the phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean in his unfinished final book "Master Mariner", which was partly inspired by this tale (he lived and worked in South Africa after the war) and the story of the Wandering Jew.
Is this a reported sighting?--Jack Upland (talk) 21:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
