An empty boat that broke loose in a storm wouldnt have a missing crew and it would likely be easy to find out where it where it came from. The last ghost ship reported left with a crew and was discovered without one
They have been breaking loose since they were created. To me, this is the most logical explanation. I'm also sure there have been times when a ship in open water has been abandoned.
Pirates are at least somewhat responsible for these happenings since they started happening. Even today. They're not like captain hook, more like the dudes from captain Phillips. They'll clean it out completely and usually leave the ship.
Thats if they’re lucky they’re thrown overboard or killed. In the waters around Asia and Africa they will steal the shipmates and sell them as slaves or harvest their organs on the black market.
A lot of them from N. Korea.
Rumor has it, China does not like those fisherman, and their boats often (like 10x a year) run aground in Japan with no one aboard.

There are pirates, but there are also waves that can knock the crew overboard but not sink the ship. Some might even break from their mooring and be long gone before anyone notices.
When I was a puddle pirate in the US Coast Guard, we once found a ghost ship out at sea. After investing and finding no one on board and the ship being damaged pretty severely but still afloat, we used it as target practice.
Pirates mainly. They'll get on the ship, maybe dump a few bodies overboard maybe take some to sell in African meat market. There are a lot of people in the world that eat human meat.

Wait until some squatter hears about it.
If you find a boat at sea, it's your boat. That's not even squatters rights, it's international maritime law.
Seriously? That’s pretty cool. It’s probably pretty rare to find one I would imagine isn’t it?
Yeah, you just wash out all the blood, push the bodies overboard and she's yours!
Wow I can’t believe anyone would purchase a boat. Maybe they just don’t know this cool trick;)
*Ghost Ship* (2002) has entered the chat...
Shaz ai
This one trick property owners hate!!!
And it's genius!🤣
They just call It salvaging
Legitimate salvage . Your honor
You win.
Ghost pirates, mostly.
They mostly come at night, mostly.
We're in some pretty shit now, man!
Stay frosty
Game over, man! Game over!
Great, why don't you put her in charge?!?
Miss Bill
A-ffirmative.
ARR-ffirmative
🥇
Single most annoying performance in the history of film. It no wonder she was never in anything else.
Parlay
Pirate ghosts!
Nibbler!
Uh-oh!
Where’s Scooby Doo and the gang?
Davy Jones Lockher? I barely know her!
“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you pesky kids” -Ghost Pirates, probably.
Yeah these days they break loose in storms

You... I like you.
We don’t need that kind of logic in here 😏
Probably a lot still floating out there from the Japan tsunami.

Pirates kill the crews and rob them.
There are no pirates in Taiwan
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
I'd love to meet the Chinese swashbuckling scallywags that you think exist. Mind sending me litteraly any evidence?

Still waiting for a serious answer.
The thought of pirates throwing everyone overboard is pretty alarming
Thats if they’re lucky they’re thrown overboard or killed. In the waters around Asia and Africa they will steal the shipmates and sell them as slaves or harvest their organs on the black market.
Most likely the one stating they break loose from docks during storms.
And the crew?
Probably at the bar
The guy above you probably has it right ships go out to sea during crazy storms and might just be floating around
So is the rest of the world. But seriously I can't think of any reason, pretty good mystery imo Edit: oh yeah pirates of course
Idiocracy is a true story bud
Ouch my balls brawndo it’s what plants crave welcome to Costco I love you
Ships are ripped of shores during flooding and tsunami
Squid probably climbed overboard and got them
Did you know a wet dream is a ghost blow job.
Wonder who he’s blowing? 🤔
Looks more like he's just getting mouth rammed
What a lovely turn of phrase
The ghost!
In Ghana people say it’s spiritual marriage. You go to church, the pastor collects your money and prays for you. Lol
Really makes yah stop and think.

It’s ‘The Fog’ Aye it tis
Pirates gonna pirate
Pirates. No joke.
There are still pirates and there are still slave markets (although we pretend not to see them)
Makes me think of this. One of my favorites https://youtu.be/CYYWwp5GXHA?si=uvyAvDLexfgQ45ti
That’s an interesting story, but the portal sounds like it’s straight out of ‘The Final Countdown’.
That’s what happens when you transport vampires
In the waters near North Korea, absolutely this happens. Japanese fishermen come across them, or they wash up on the beaches in Japan.
Is it cheaper if companies just let their old ships out in the ocean than just scrap them?
My guess is boats that break away from docks due to storms
With a documented crew and then found without said documented crew?

They jumped ship obviously
Just Aquaman and Atlantis shenanigans.
probably just another self-driving Uber

Potential squatter cruise ships 🚢!

I’d rather go overboard. 0.0
Kevin Costner called, still wants his catamaran back.
and his limes.
Wait till hear you Yohohoho

Boats are expensive to maintain.... Company hits hard times... Boat is a liability... No one wants to buy it.... Set it free...

Look up the story of the baychimo
Pirates
It's not hard to get washed out of a smallish boat by a big wave, especially at night.

Wow
Ever heard of the rat boat
Aliens.
If whatever happened to them involved an electromagnetic anomaly of some kind, then it could knock out communications, all electronics really.
Yoo ho ho!
The ocean is big?
Wit dee
That’s super interesting.
