Lady Lovibond- the ghost ship that reappears every 50 years

In the mid-1700s it was believed that it was bad luck for a woman to be on a ship as it sailed. Though many sailors lived by this superstition, a captain by the name of Simon Reed did not.
On February 13, 1748, a boat by the name of the Lady Lovibond left port for a celebratory wedding cruise along the Thames River near Kent, England with the final destination of a honeymoon in Oporto, Portugal... the ship never made its final stop.
Loaded with men, women, and gold the ship went missing never to be found. Exactly fifty years to the day after the Lady Lovibond was declared "gone" the captain of the ship “Edenbridge” recorded sighting of the missing Lady Lovibond but was surrounded by a green glow.
Since 1798 it is said that every 50 years the Lady Lovibond makes an appearance near the Goodwin Sands ....
This is the story of Lady Lovibond- the missing ghost ship.
