This article should be merged with The Flying Dutchman (disambiguation) Schmiteye 00:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the proper proposal indications. Discussion (if any) is on this page. Radagast 22:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Merge articles posthaste. --Micahbrwn 04:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Seconded. DocWatson42 06:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Against, unless the ship, as the original source, takes precedence over all other forms of the phrasing. The Flying Dutchman type of dinghy should not be mistaken for the imfamous ocean-going phantom vessel. --Chr.K. 02:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why isnt there any reference to Spongebob squarepants in the adaptions section; The flying dutchmen was a funny character in the series.

Yellow Fever

Could a disease be the cause for some origins of this story? For example, the book "Principles of Virology" by Enquist, Krug etc... state this on page 5. It might be interesting to put up that connection between a disease, a missing crew, and a "ghost ship". I did not find the origin though, but I did find another article: http://yellowfever.lib.virginia.edu/reed/data/0f669b9a960ba3b2912165fe58860259.html and http://yellowfever.lib.virginia.edu/newreed/images/large/KAMD1170.JPG

I believe this should be mentioned in the main article, perhaps with one short sentence about "origins" or similar? 80.108.103.172 (talk) 17:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
