The Chilling Legend Of The Ghost Ship Jenny And Its Frozen Crew

Publish date: 2024-05-08

The legend of Jenny is unsubstantiated, and the only report about it was published in Globus — a German magazine — in 1862, as reported by Paranomal Catalog. According to the story, the whaling ship Hope was sailing in 1840 in Antarctica's Drake Passage when crew members spotted a ship floating between two icebergs. The schooner looked worn, but they allegedly spotted crew members standing on the deck. They called out to the men but got no response. When they got closer, they saw that the men were frozen solid.

Captain Brighton — Hope's commanding officer — boarded Jenny and went below deck to investigate further. He reportedly found Jenny's captain sitting frozen with a pen in his hand. According to Puzzle Box Horror, the final entry on the captain's log read, "May 4, 1823. No food for 71 days. I am the only one left alive." Captain Brighton also found a woman on a bed beside a dog, and just like the others, both were frozen (via Paranormal Catalog). Some reports say Hope's crew buried the frozen people at sea, while others say that the Jenny and its crew are still drifting along Drake Passage. However, as noted by Astonishing Legends, no one has seen Jenny since that day.
