Ghost Ship There out on the Horizon It's masts glistening in the sun ... There's an  awesome sight before me Towards  the shore I run... Tattered sails are blowing, Billowing in the wind... An eerie cry on a storm tossed sea Beckoning me like an old friend... The sounds of the sea , they draw me To this  vision silhouetted in blue... A shredded mast in flight like angels wings They're reminding me of You... Thousands of diamonds sparkle around it This treasure On the Sea ... Slowly inching ever closer, Finding it's way back to me... Amid this awesome splendor Draped in the paleness of Mid day light... A ghost ship carrying you back to me Never leaves my  sight... There in all its glory Framed in it's ghostly realm... Its masts fly like the wings of angels... Before the angels fell... Tattered sails are blowing, Billowing in the wind... An eerie cry on a storm tossed sea Beckoning me like an old friend... Do these eyes deceive me ... With this silhouette wrapped in  blue ... Why does the cry of the storm tossed sea... Draw me closer to you...       By: Pam Gallo 2007 copyright   Ghost Ship Lady Lovibond   By James Donahue       The story of the Lady Lovibond is an old tale from the British Isles about a sailing ship. She was a three-mast schooner that went hard on Goodwin Sands on Friday the Thirteenth, February, 1748. The ship’s crew and 50 guests, all aboard to celebrate the wedding of Capt. Simon Peel, perished.   As the story is told, the helmsman, a man called Rivers, was a very jealous man who was in love with the bride. While Captain Peel and his guests were below deck, Rivers purposefully drove the ship onto the treacherous sands while in a fit of jealous rage.   An English ballad gives some details of the voyage although there is nothing to determine the accuracy of the information. It claims the vessel was bound for Oporto , Portugal , with a cargo of flour, meat, wine and gold.   Rivers served as the first mate of the ship. According to the ballad, he and the captain’s new bride had been romantically involved but she wanted a better life than he could afford to provide as a common seaman.   Thus there was bad blood between Rivers and Peel over this marriage, although Peel apparently was unaware of it. The result of it all was a disaster  that went down in English lore as a fine haunting story of the sea.   It is said that the wrecking of the Lady Lovibond has been seen on the anniversary of the disaster. Sailors say the ghostly image of a three-mast schooner is seen by passing ships as it rushes to its destruction on that reef. The last reported sighting occurred in February, 1898.
