The Princess Augusta

The Princess Augusta has haunted the waters off the coast of Rhode Island since 1738. It was built for both passengers and cargo, and it was captained by a man named George Long. The islanders took Germans in and helped them recover, setting the wreckage on fire to prevent it from being drawn back out to sea with other passing ships. But some say that the story that the mainlanders tell is much different and even more tragic. More than likely though, the story is a product of a misunderstanding.
