Ghost Ships: Flying Dutchman, Caleuche, Mary Celeste, Baychimo (ASMR Stories for Sleep)

Tonight I tell you the stories of four different ghost ships, together with their historical context and what happened to them. Two are fictional: the Flying Dutchman, a flute from the Age of Sails that would have traded between Amsterdam and the Spice Islands, and the Caleuche, a legendary ship in the island of Chiloe, Chile. Two are real: the Mary Celeste that mysteriously lost her crew in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Baychimo, that was abandonned but unexpectedly kept wandering for decades in the waters north of Canada and Alaska.

This is the perfect channel you put on to hear a gentleman tell tales and tell history like as if he was there in a gentle voice with a lovely French accent, a perfect combination, thats something to me is rare, and i love it, so all i have to say is this, Merci!

Over the decades, people haven't had the marvel that the ocean and ships had like they used to. This was a huge part of many people's lives, not to mention the dreams romantic young kids had. Thank you for the history!

[@nelsonsaunders7403]

Hell yeah. As a former Mariner (commercial fisherman) this is right up my alley.

[@richardhead1848]

I love hearing a story, but before that story I actually learn a few things about history. One of my favourite things about this channel, the historical context and framing for stories is immaculate!

[@olebeans6992]

What a terrifying thought. To think those that abandoned the Mary Celeste likely saw her floating off on the horizon knowing full and well they had made a fatal error.

[@luna7207]

I love nautical history and mysteries! And just in time for a nap! Thank you good sir.

[@clarab325]

i'm so excited for this, goodnight everyone! ended up falling asleep in the first 10 minutes so i’m back to learn some stuff now hjshsh

I love new video day. As a Navy Veteran, sea stories are very dear to my heart.

[@ovejanegra7355]

One of my favorite topics since I was a kid (as a chilean, the Caleuche story fascinated me since I read about it in elementary school).

[@YoRaven69]

Love this line up of topics! More mystery and urban legends please my man!

The I did a video project about El Caleuche!. I fell asleep but I wanted to add this the first time I heard of the Flying Dutchman was on a cruise ship during a night stay at Camp Carnival. I was 6 and I loved every moment of it. Thanks for taking me back 😉

[@dixieAQHA]

[@uma____3105]

So good

[@Shuxley]

I love it! Your first ghost ship video is my all time favourite asmr!! Thank you so much!!

[@tylerknupp2367]

I would love it if there were some more science / sci fi stories "existential questions of reality " like theories of existence , parallel universes all of the different and exotic forms of matter like bose einstein condensates, string net liquid, quark stars, neutron degeneracy pressure, dark matter, dark energy, black holes to what consciousness really is but more in depth than in the sleep episode you did awhile ago. i could be in the minority tho but just a suggestion. Thank you again for everything that you do and being able to keep it add free it means a lot

[@gusfring-vg4te]

i love castaways of the flying dutchman

[@BriarLeaf00]

The mark that mercantalism left on Dutch, and Amsterdam architecture in particular, is a fascinating part of visiting the Netherlands.

I have referred SO MANY people to your channel. I hope they all subscribe and become patrons.

[@TheAgent44WasTaken]

Can you do a video about World War I? I live in the Americas and it's a topic in history we aren't really taught. It would be interesting to hear about it from a European perspective, especially from a man from one of the nations that participated in it… I'd also be interested in hearing about the Some of my own History from the French Perspective, Particularly The American Revolution. My country doesn't really tell us much about the other nations involved in the Revolutionary War, so I thought it would be nice to learn. I'm always trying to be as well informed as possible and I've learned so much from your videos already…

[@limerence8365]

The 1500s to 1700s exploration naval period is ripe for romantisation and fantasical stories that you don't really see. (Yes I know slavery happened then but other timeperiods also had ugly sides and those are written about all the time). Kinda how steampunk has a victorian setting or epic fantasy has medieval settings. Pirates of the Caribean is set then but that focuses almost exclusively on pirates and magical sea curses. This period actually caught my attention when I watched Fena Pirate Princess, an anime with a lot of promising avenues just unfortunately suffered from choppy storytelling. It had everything, romance, mysterious islands, steampunk submarines, ancient gods, biblical prophecies, sacred lineages, European court intrigue, band of assasins, and it also had asian influence being a Japanese anime obviously but because it was set in the naval scene you could have any nationality show up and it would make sense which opens the door for mythology stories of those nationalities. The only other story that piqued my interest for a setting was Castlevania which was just real medieval European history except demons, vampires and vampire hunters was the norm. Thus setting is a goldmine for fantasy adventure writers.

Fyi route is pronounced like "root" only Texas and California pronounce it the way you do.

[@lilianechampevaldesenna]

[@royeaston6067]

In English if you’re to say countryman, dutchman frenchman etc you pronounce it “mun” not “man”. It sounds very jarring and just plain wrong that’s why it’s one word, not two.

Thanks!
