    S13 Ep7: The Ghost Ship, Octavius
    Dec 7 2025
    How very good of you to visit, dear guest! Do step into the Reading Room and warm your weary bones near the fire. Tonight, we have just the thing to take your mind off all the dreadfulness in the world- a ship, a ghost ship, The Octavius. Lost, then found, then lost again. And argued about to this day...as to its whereabouts. Rest...and hear the tale of its bold captain and doomed crew who dared to make their ship traverse the Northwest Passage...almost 150 years too early.
