El mito del Holandés Errante

Si otro barco lo saluda, su tripulación tratará de hacer llegar sus mensajes a tierra, a personas muertas siglos atrás.Las versiones de la leyenda son innumerables. Unas cuentan que la historia originariamente es holandesa, mientras que otras afirman que está basada en la obra de teatro The Flying Dutchman (1826), del dramaturgo inglés Edward Fitzball, y en la novela The Phantom Ship («El buque fantasma», 1837) de Frederick Marryat, más tarde adaptada al holandés como Het Vliegend Schip («El buque volador») por el clérigo de esa nacionalidad A.H.C. Römer. Otras versiones aluden a la ópera El holandés errante, de Richard Wagner (1841) y a The Flying Dutchman on Tappan Sea de Washington Irving (1855).
