[@ukaszwalczak1154]

Mostly the story of Baychimo, it isn't spooky all that much, but rather funny. Like, Baychimo just got stuck in ice, got out(probably whistled witch translates to "I'M FREEEEEE-"), got stuck again, rinse and repeat, and then disappears for good. And probably in 2031, she appears off of Alaska, and then she's towed to a port in England, but then in the night after being tied to a dock, she disappears and the story repeats-

Too bad they couldnt have put a GPS tracker on the ship. Titanic- sinks on maiden voyage Baychimo- floats around with no crew for around 4 decades

[@jwenting]

GPS trackers are active devices, they need a continuous power source to both receive and compute the GPS signal and then transmit it back out. That's not going to happen on a derelict ship. And then of course there's the small detail of GPS not being in existence until decades after the last sighting of the ship.

[@Engine33Truck]

What’s interesting about Bachimo when compared to other ghost ship stories, like the Orang Medan, is that it’s all true. A real life ghost ship. What’s even more astonishing is the fact that the ship shouldn’t’ve floated adrift for 4 years, let alone 40. Aside from the fact that she should’ve been destroyed by pack ice or ran aground, drifting without maintenance should’ve caused her already damaged hull to deteriorate to the point that she lost hull integrity. The only conclusion I can come to as to how she miraculously maintained water tight integrity for almost 40 years is the anti-fouling paint wore off (or was scraped off by ice) and led to marine life and other crud building up on the hull beneath the water line to the point that it created an additional layer of hull to maintain the ship’s water tight integrity. That still doesn’t account for the fact that her cargo hold door should’ve disintegrated within 10-15 years in that brutal sea to allow her cargo holds to flood and sink her.

This is one of my favorite "ghost ship" stories.

The ships that form our usual idea of ice crushing the hull could be based on not so heavy underpowered breaker ships that still needed stability at sea so they had the worst compromising least capable combination of features. If a ship is light enough with the correct shaped hull it could hop up above the ice closing around it. The Blishk lock delayed blowback pistol research was ultimately a waste of time that still provided a lot of interesting friction coefficient results.

I'm sure the ship can be found. Take her last known position, factor in set and drift as it was noted in the area at the time of the last sighting. There should be some weather records somewhere, probably on microfiche by now, or digitized if we're lucky. Start the search pattern from the LKP with those factors in mind, and don't be surprised if she finally foundered after 1969. That ship was obviously damaged, but probably lucked into a set of eddy currents that kept her off the shoals and rocks for almost 40 years. But even the BAYCHIMO can die; the shaft packing around the prop shaft probably gave way and she had to have eventually flooded. She's probably on the bottom somewhere near where she was last sighted.

[@jakobthoboll2759]

In german, you compare such a mission with searching for a needle in the hay. It is nearly impossible. Weather observation in pre-satellite-area in such remote places are rare and drifting trajectories become more uncertain, the longer the timespan of the drift is. And we don't know if, and on which time, she maybe sunk. So she could be everywhere.
