It is once again Halloween and that means we have a round of spooky ship tales to share with you.

We've got:

the USS North CarolinaDeaths on Hallowe'en at Fort Niagarathe spectral sailors of the oil tanker Watertown'The Phantom of the Forrestal'

**As we're sharing this episode with you, the genocide in Palestine continues, with upwards of 8,000 recorded deaths in Gaza and numbers entering the hundreds in the West Bank due to escalating settler violence. We encourage you to use any platform that you have at all to speak out and protest what is being done - especially our fellow American listeners. There has been an encouraging groundswell of support for the Palestinian cause and we have to keep it up to end the atrocities being committed against one of the most vulnerable groups of people on the planet.**
