The Star of India,(originally known as The Euterpe) is the oldest, working sailing ship in the world. The strongest ghost is a young man by the name of John Campbell. In 1884, John Campbell, a teen-aged boy seeking adventure, stowed away on The Euterpe. He was eventually discovered and put to work to earn his keep. While tending to the masts, about 100 feet above the deck, his foot slipped and he fell to the deck below, breaking both legs. He died 3 days later in great pain. He now haunts the mast where he fell off.
The other main ghost on the ship goes by Captain. He is always working on his logs and charts and barking orders to a non-existent crew.
The Star of India sailing ship is docked at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. 1492 North Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101.
