The nor’easter hit us unexpectedly on the midwatch. Suddenly, rain pelted us and the swells hit the bow with an explosion of spray that took me off the helm and nearly to the end of the jack line. The old sea captain sprung from his hammock below, climbed on deck, grabbed the wheel and growled “POINT HER INTO THE WIND! She’s going to capsize, you fool!”

Then, just as quick as it came, it was gone. Dead calm. Glass seas and a new moon. In the darkness, we saw a glow...

“There!”, barked the old man. “It’s the ghost of the Cape of Cod!”

I’ll never forget that night as long as I live.

The captains name was Captain John. He was a sea captain a few hundred years ago located in The Cape of Cod in a town called Wellfleet, Mass.

He owned a property up a hill from the water, he had a large family and his home was built to fully accommodate them. There was three cabins, a boathouse, and a main house. There are theories about what happened to him but nobody is completely sure.

Today the property is used as a rental home in the summer, it advertises itself as a ‘haunted house,’ and if you are lucky you can possibly spot him. I sure did.

The sea was angry that night like an old man returned soup at a deli...

I always wanted to pretend to be an architect.

I’ve never heard it called the Cape of Cod. Is that an older phrasing?

Not at all, just saying it like that for comedic/strange story effect

The Ojibwe name is Point Wiinag

Interesting that the Ojibwe named a location so far away from their lands. Any background on that?
Ojibwe Jul 18, 2019

Yeah. Look here...
