It may also scare away the fish, but most players seem to find this an even trade for the chance to witness such a rare event. It has been spotted at night in First Light by the Saircor Bridge, though it generally disappears as quickly as it shows up.

It takes the form of an old-fashioned sailing ship that glows with an eerie green light. The Ghost Ship found in New World has been observed by many players, most of whom were fishing at the time. Or perhaps the Ghost Ship, like many other rumored spectral vessels, was never truly inanimate. New World players must already keep enemy types in mind when customizing their fighting styles, but now it seems the curse of Aeternum can even reach inanimate objects. This includes players, NPCs, and human opponents, but it also affects animals, trees, and other plant life, as seen in the Angry Earth enemy type. The main hook of New World is as simple as it is endlessly reusable: On the mysterious island of Aeternum, the fundamental laws of life and death do not apply, and the effects extend to anyone who gets close enough. New World's Ghost Ship is one of those secrets.

With so many players all making their way across Aeternum, it's no surprise that some players have uncovered some of the island's many secrets. The amount of hype around this title led it to an all-time peak of 913,027 concurrent players on Steam a few days after launch. Amazon Game Studios' New World has been one of the most highly anticipated and controversial releases of the year.
