The Moshulu


Penn's Landing


This is the world's largest and oldest four-masted sailing ship still afloat! It was originally named "Kurt" by the German owners, and was launched in 1904 in Scotland. During World War I, she was captured by the U.S. and renamed "Moshulu", which is Senecan for "fearless".
The Moshulu has had a long, eventful history. 28 people have died on board. This ship/restaurant is haunted by the "Lantern Ghost". There used to be lanterns on all the tables. They are extinguished at closing time. This is always carefully checked by the employees, as the interior of the restaurant was destroyed in 1989 by a fire. Nevertheless, lanterns are found burning when the staff opens in the morning.
