SS Ourang Medan
Episode Bio
The sea is a familiar, albeit unknown, piece of our world and with it, the waves carry tales across the globe for storytellers and scholars alike, to share amongst the rest and ultimately construct part of the very foundation that is our maritime history. We've heard of Blackbeard, the infamous pirate, and even the spectral vessel, The Flying Dutchman. We've seen other myths and legends from cinema, such as The Pirates of the Caribbean and even Spongebob Squarepants. One such mystery that is much more recent than the aforementioned is the SS Ourang Medan. The Ourang Medan is a ghost ship which was supposedly discovered by The Silver Star after the latter had intercepted an S.O.S. from the phantom sea-bearer. After discovering the Medan's crew to be dead and an attempt to pull the ship back to port, the SS Ourang Medan unexpectedly exploded and so the primordial waters became it's eternal grave site. The waters of our world are not forces to reckon with but to live with, harmoniously. They are unsuspecting and unforgiving. If real, the SS Ourang Medan was just another victim for the seven sea's death toll. Check out the episode for more details on the story! We hope you enjoy your time listening and learning. Stay safe and healthy out there in the world and you'll hear from us soon.
Special updates are coming soon ;)
