Roel Oostra – The Flying Dutchman

Gepubliceerd op 13 mei 2013

…The Flying Dutchman…

How Dutch Captain VanderDecken dares defy God and is doomed to roam the Seven Seas forever. Whosoever encounters his ragged vessel is destined to share his fate. The “Death Coast” of Southern Africa has claimed thousands of ships and countless lives: a ghost ship that makes the Southern Capes forever treacherously tempestuous? A metaphor for the terrifying gales and hurricanes that roam the icy ocean around the Antarctic? On the deep bond between a little nation and the seas; how an old seaman’s tale turned into a lasting symbol in western history and culture.
