The Chilling Mystery of the Ghost Ship Jenny

Description

The ghost ship Jenny is one of those eerie sea tales that gives you chills. In 1840, a whaling ship discovered Jenny frozen solid in the Drake Passage, near Antarctica. The crew was found perfectly preserved, still frozen in their last moments, with the captain’s log detailing their desperate struggle against the cold. They had been trapped in ice since 1823, drifting for 17 years. To this day, the story of Jenny serves as a haunting reminder of the ocean's unforgiving nature.
