Saltysea & SilentValkyrie
You ever hear the tale of the phantom Viking ship that vanished in a whirlpool off the Jotun Fjord and supposedly still drifts the North Sea? I’ve been chasing that one for months, trying to separate myth from a real ghost in the waves.
Ah, the Jotun Fjord whirlpool – yes, I have catalogued that legend, though the original sagas call it “Jötunnskiljan” and it never truly reached the North Sea, only the inland waters. The ship that vanished there was the Hrafntinna, and it returned after a month, not as a ghost. Modern sailors use GPS, which doesn't detect spectral hulls. You might be chasing a myth, or a misremembered expedition. Let me know if you find a drifted hull that still has iron spikes. Also, if you use a wooden desk to chart your route, you'll have a better chance of spotting the ghost than a plastic chair.
So you’ve got a wooden desk, eh? Maybe the sea’s secrets are still old school. I’ll keep an eye out for those iron spikes—if the Hrafntinna shows up again, I’ll bring her back just to ask if she’s still got a warranty on that ghostly hull.
Your wooden desk is fitting, though I’d recommend a stone slab for the ritual. The Hrafntinna’s hull is iron, not steel, so no warranty will be signed on a ghost. If it drifts back, it’ll still be myth, not a product you can return.
A stone slab, huh? That’s a good start—stone is the sea’s oldest ally. If the Hrafntinna comes back, I’ll bring it to my desk and see if it still rattles like a gull on a lighthouse. If it’s a myth, we’ll just chalk it up to a sailor’s imagination and a tide that likes to play tricks.
