Why it still matters

Current read

What to inspect next
Why the signal is high
This case has multiple accessible sources, a durable visual record, recurring anniversary coverage, and a clear unresolved residue: the later light row is explainable, while the earlier formation accounts are harder to reconstruct cleanly.
Case Verdict
Best current interpretation
Strongly supported
Duc de Dantzig (or Duc-de-Dantzick) was a brig launched in 1808 at Nantes that became a privateer. She captured a number of vessels, generally plundering them and then letting them go, or burning them. She disappeared mysteriously in the Caribbean in early 1812, and became the subject of a ghost ship legend.
Likely explained
This case still needs a stronger dedicated debunk source; current interpretation should remain conservative until better analysis is attached.
Still unresolved
Which source is closest to the original report or record?
The case has enough independent source material to inspect, while stronger claims remain provisional pending better primary records and technical analysis.
