Any reliable links to the "ghost ship" (abandoned, 100ft ship) which allegedly drifted into Mulkiteo today? (WSDOT?)

Looks legit. Wonder where it came from. Apparently after the 2011 Japan tsunami, empty ships would occasionally show up in Washington, having drifted with the currents across the Pacific.

Ghost Ship (my poem)

Ghostly ship, dark and grim
Slowly comes drifting in
Where did your crew go
And how did you get here, so.

Still afloat yet what dark fate
Visited the crew and the deck mate
No one left at the helm
What steered you here from that darker realm?

Where ships disappear and are never heard
But the cry of a lonely sea bird
Ghost ship, why did you come here
It's a bad omen for men, I do fear.

@ai6yr
The Flying Dutchman comes to Mukilteo.
@ai6yr
Thanks for clearing up why they used a photo of a man in a loosened necktie as the photo to illustrate the not very fleshed out story.
@ai6yr it’s great that every TV news channel’s site is showing the video, but did not one of them think to call the harbor patrol or the ferry company or anyone to follow up?
@chronodm Yeah... no info except what they also saw on socials. i.e. statement from USCG, etc etc???
@ai6yr @chronodm
Ghost ship’s gonna start showing up around every corner, hiding in wait and then popping out, tooting “Boo!”, and then disappearing back into that great big fog bank, with its mysterious bell languidly tolling on the wind.

🎶 Last isthmus
I gave you my chart
The very next day
You sank to your grave
This year a ghost ship appears
You turned into something spectral 🎶

... And my apologies 😅

@ai6yr @chronodm
Ah, journalism. I kinda miss it sometimes...
@ai6yr zomg that’s the ferry to my island 🤣
Of *course* that happens here. Weird things *always* happen wherever I am. They follow me around like banshees.
