    About this ebook

    The ship came into the harbor, running full out in front of a storm. No one thought she’d make it, but she did. But then the town discovered that there was no one on board.
    She was called the Providence. It was a fitting name, for she brought Providence to our town, and much, much more to the widow Mabel Priory.

    Read this short, but creepy tale to find out what Mabel did with this ghostly ship.
    Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.
    Ages 9 and up.

      GHOST SHIP ON THE CAY

      Its rotted timbers still sit today on the beach at Brighton Cay; the haunted ghost ship.

      Brighton Cay stretches off the coast of Virginia, reaching out into the waters of the Atlantic. The rocky shores provide a treacherous passing before ships can anchor safely on the beach. If one knows the way among the rocks, the place provides a beautiful safe harbor for landing.

      Pressing against the beach is the town, given the same name. The town of Brighton Cay has always been one of poorer folk who've made their life from the sea.
