A spectral ghost ship rides the fog outlined by the spray of the waves; Blurred vision of watery graves serves to bring life to epilogue; Generations speak of legends walking past the forgotten pier; What is true or false is unclear, with every share the story bends; Far fetched tale of hunting for gold, the kidnapped gave in to the fray; Spite lingered...
