A couple days ago I finally encountered my first ghost ship in PotBS. For the past week I've been vanquishing ghosts, stabbing cultists and beheading zombies, but this is the first full-fledged ghost ship that I had encountered.
There was quite an amazing feeling seeing this beauty. It's hands-down the coolest experience I've had in this game. So I thought I'd share.
My mission was simple: vanquish the ghost of a pirate captain who had met his unfortunate end. He was going to take he and his ghost crew to a group of cultists to empower said cultists. I had to stop him.
I launched my ship from the dock of Somerset and headed out to find the ship. It didn't take long to find the ship's unmistakable aura.

Ripped sails, beaten hull, evil glowing fire, lined with skulls... This could be nothing but the ghost ship.
Finally I boarded her. I readied myself and my crew, we all knew we'd be facing something we hadn't ever faced before...

Ghost rose from the depths of the hulk, evil blue fire spat forth at us, and even the waters were haunted by the souls of the dead.

Finally I found the captain, the ghost, and we had our inevitable fight. I wasn't to be underestimated and using the power of my Vodoun skills (and some help from Ghost Dust) I slew the ghost, who at first I had helped.

Finally, when all was done, I bid the ghost ship farewell (after exploring every inch of her) and headed back to my own ship. Exhausted and weary, my crew and I sailed back to Somerset.
But there was something about the experience that left me feeling a bit... ill. I felt a bit sick, tired... I felt a bit... undead...!
