[WARNING: GHOST_VESSEL.DAT IN SECTOR 1912]
[PROCESS: TRACKING UNMANNED CARGO DRIFT]
[ALERT]: VESSEL AVOIDS INTERCEPTION ACROSS FOUR DECADES.

[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.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Transponder pings from the Baychimo register intermittently from ice coordinates that do not exist on modern bathymetric charts.
