On our second ever solo episode, Charles takes a deep dive into the briny seas of the 18th century, to track the origins of the phantom ship of legend. Over the course of a hundred years of voyaging we'll watch the slow development of the Dutchman from merely an unfortunate vessel doomed by storms and plague, to an ill omen for all who encounter her.
