Cast
Breton sailors of the Crillon :
Produced by Peter Creswell
In this play, first broadcast in December 1939, the skipper of a merchant ship, during a discussion on ghosts, begins to tell of an experience of his own. The action flashes back to a certain voyage in 1916, a torpedoed ship, two survivors on a desert island, and the arrival of the phantom ship of the title.
