On November 21st, 1902, the Canadian wheat carrier SS Bannockburn vanished without a trace on Lake Superior. With no clues to help explain the disappearance, the mystery haunted sailors on the Great Lakes for decades. Soon sightings of a ghost ship resembling the Bannockburn became frequent on stormy nights. She quickly became known as The Flying Dutchman of Lake Superior.
