Just Another Sailor's Yarn?

The crew believed that there was a ghost aboard M/Y Americana. I didn't believe it at first.
The crew complained of toilets flushing, water left running, and cleaning supplies found in
the heads and galley at 4:00 am. Then strange things began to happen on the bridge.

I lived on the bridge with my wife. At the end of the night charters, I would turn off
the VHF and the new radar installed for New York Harbor. At 4:00 am, I would be waken by
the noise of the instruments turned on. I would turn them off. An hour later something
turns it on again. The doors to the bridge are locked. No one came on the bridge.
A frustrating ghost this one is. I killed the all rats and now I have a ghost
waking me up in the middle of the night. "Rr rr", The Captain says.

Do you see the ghost in this photo? The ghost appears to be wearing a flag.

Then one night in Miami whilst on charter I noticed an attractive women with a young child
standing on the dock gazing at the bridge with tears in her eye. I asked her, "Whats wrong?"
She said, "My husband use to be the captain of this yacht until he was killed in a helicopter
crash in the Caribbean. I raised my daughter on that bridge. Did you find the secrete switch?
"What switch", I said. She went on to say that her husband never wanted the power turned off
on the bridge so he installed so no one could turn off the power. And he loved to clean
toilets. He worked many nights to 4:00 am. He put his heart and soul into
The Americana. He was a great captain," the deceased captain's wife said.
