I WANT TO KNOW #4 - The ghost ship that has been moving without people for 38 years

SS Beichimo is a 1322-ton steam-jet cargo ship, set up in 1914. Its original name is Ångermanelfven. It was built at the Lindholmens Shipyard in Gothenburg, Sweden. The ship was used to transport merchandise between Hamburg and Sweden until the end of 1914. The 226-meter vessel has a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

After World War I, the ship was owned by the British Hudson's Bay Company in 1921. He gets the new name of SS Beichimo and serves to transport fur, and every summer he heads to the coasts of Canada to trade tobacco, sugar, tea and weapons.

Beichimo in 1931

From 1921 to 1931 everything with Becimo is fine and he travels around the world with the crew. But the winter of 1931 marks the end of this good trade. The crew remains crouched by Alaska's ice and walks on the shore for several days until the ice goes away so they can continue to their next stop. A week later, however, the ice again obstructed Bayicho's path. After several exhausting days, the captain of the ship sends a signal asking for an airplane to take his men out of the trap. Some men are actually saved, and the rest build a hut in which to wait for the danger to pass. After being on the shore, they intended to stay there until the weather had warmed enough to travel again.

On the night of 24.11, a blizzard began, and while the Bajcho crew hid in their shed, the ship disappeared. Men start to worry, and when they do not find it, they assume their ship is sunk. Several days later, a seals hunter reported that the ship had freed itself from its icy barrier during the storm and sailed about 70 kilometers from the shore.

The ship in the ice of Alaska

Then the captain decides that the ship is no longer in use, but it can not be beyond the truth. A few months later, Beichomo was found 400 kilometers from the shore where the sailors had left it. A year later, a man named Leslie Melvin traveled with his dog sleds near Noum, Alaska, and reported that he had seen the ship near the shore as if waiting for the crew to board it again.

In the middle of 1932, Hudson's Bay received the news that the ship was still sailing completely alone, but the governors decided he was too far away to save him. A year later, other people reported that they had noticed Beachimo on the shores of Alaska. Several people say they have noticed the floating ship being worn over the next few years, including in 1962.

Beichimo was last seen in 1969 near the Chukot Sea. Ten years ago, Alaska government organized a campaign to find Baykoumo, both on the water and at the bottom of the ocean. However, the so-called "Arctic Ghost Ship" still has no trace.
