The Bride of Davey Jones.

Amidst the howling tempest the Flying Dutchman rode the mighty waves of the dark sea. The ship and captain from the depths of the sea, and hell itself. The ship from the abyss.

The ship sailed on over the black sea of the night, and the wind howled and moaned over the terrible sea…
