WOW!!This is terrrible...I can't believe they left her like this! They could have at least cleaned up the remains so that visitors wouldn't have to see this.

Actually, I saw the hull of the Flying Dutchman still intact, floating in a back bay, just off of the tram path from the ship to Pelican Point last Wednesday. It pretty much just looks like a "barge" now.

It was worn down by weather and waves over the years

Didn't realize it had been there years, I though they towed it in in 2009.

Actually, I'm not sure when it was first taken to CC. So perhaps I should have said "over time" and not years.

the ship has been there since June 2006


"CELEBRATION, Fla. (June 24, 2006) - - A mysterious pirate ship has landed at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, providing Disney Cruise Line guests with a swashbuckling photo opportunity and a sneak peek into movie making magic.

Starting in late June, guests sailing on a Disney Cruise Line vacation will discover a 175-foot ghost ship anchored at Castaway Cay. The ship is The Flying Dutchman, which makes its silver screen debut on July 7 in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. The Flying Dutchman’s commander is the legendary Davy Jones, who serves as nemesis to the infamous pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, in the upcoming film. "

We saw this too, and from certain angles, it looks like they don't want us back on the ship, lol.

Our first trip was in April 2006 and I thought the FD was there then. Perhaps it got there ahead of the original schedule? Or perhaps I'm really thinking of our 2009 trip when we saw it for the first time. My oh my how the years DO fly by!
