Summary

'Ghost Ships' are synonymous with the golden age of piracy - the words conjure images of huge galleons with tattered sails and skeleton crews, sailing through the mist hundreds of years ago, reassuringly far removed from modern life. The story of the SS Ourang Medan, however, is disturbingly modern - the tale of a true ghost ship that has frightened people all over the world, from hardened sailors to agents in the highest echelons of government. It's time for Rory and Kit to investigate this story.
