Willem van der Decken is a (fictional) person who is widely known as the #cursed #captain of The #FlyingDutchman, the ship that he sailed straight into a storm near the #CapeofGoodHope. When the storm subsided. The #devil appeared before him and said that he would sail into eternity, after which the storm resumed in frenzy. The crew members died one by one, except the captain, who was left alone to navigate the world's oceans."I will sail, even though it is forever." #pirate #ghost
