Flying Dutchman 1:50

Few ships are as deeply rooted in maritime legends as the Flying Dutchman. The story of this ghostly ship has fascinated people around the world for centuries. OcCre, a renowned manufacturer of model kits, brings this legend impressively to life with its detailed 1:50 scale model.

The Legend of the Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that, according to legend, roams the oceans forever and can never dock at a port. Sailors report that it appears during storms or thick fog, often accompanied by supernatural glowing. The origin of the legend likely dates back to the 17th century when the myth first circulated among Dutch seafarers.

The most famous version tells of a captain named Hendrik van der Decken, who, on a journey around the Cape of Good Hope, swore to complete the voyage despite fierce storms, even if it meant being cursed for eternity. This curse is said to have doomed the captain and his crew to sail the seas forever.

The story has inspired numerous adaptations in literature, opera, and film. Richard Wagner’s opera The Flying Dutchman (1843) brought the tale into high culture. Later, films like the Pirates of the Caribbean series embraced the legend and shaped today’s image of the mystical ghost ship.
