Produced by Paul Hollander, Malcolm Farmer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Grain Ship" by Morgan Robertson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into maritime mysteries, primarily focusing on the chilling account of a deserted grain ship found under peculiar circumstances. It introduces characters such as a Commodore recounting his haunting experience and other sailors caught in the grip of a supernatural series of events at sea. The opening of the novel presents a gripping scene in a restaurant where the protagonist overhears a conversation about a strange vessel that was discovered abandoned, leaving behind only dead rats. This incident sparks a memory from the protagonist's past, leading him to recount an encounter with a half-witted tramp he took in at his cattle camp. As the narrative unfolds, the tramp reveals that he has lost nearly a decade of his life, having mysteriously lost his memory after falling overboard. Their exchanges hint at deeper themes of trauma and the uncanny as they both navigate the terrifying and mystifying world of the sea, setting the stage for the unfolding narrative's exploration of the unknown.
