[MARITIME LOG - ARCTIC DRIFT]:
The SS Baychimo was a steel-hulled cargo ship built in 1914, which became a notorious ghost ship abandoned in the pack ice off the coast of Alaska in 1931. Over the next 38 years, the vessel was repeatedly spotted, boarded, and sometimes salvaged by local Inuit or crews, but it always managed to break free from moorings or drift away through shifting floes. Despite numerous attempts to recover or sink the derelict freighter, it vanished completely into the Arctic waters after 1969, its ultimate fate globally unresolved.
