The famous legend of the Mary Celeste which set sail from New York harbor in 1872 and was found in the Atlantic adrift with no one on board is given a speculative tale in Phantom Ship. If the cat could only have talked he could have given witness to what really happened.
There has been all kinds of speculation and in such a situation your imagination can run wild. In the original Dr. Who series with William Hartnell as the Doctor the TARDIS lands on the Mary Celeste and finds that Daleks are busy slaughtering all.
In any event for the suspicious mind the presence of a black cat on the ship and a woman in the person of Shirley Grey, wife of Captain Arthur Margetson would violate two ancient taboos of the sea.
I'm not going to go into the plot, but the presence of Bela Lugosi in the cast would give you some indication as to who might be at the bottom of everything. Lugosi turns in a fine performance as a religious fanatic sailor who has a big grudge against the ship.
Phantom Ship is a must for fans of Bela Lugosi.
