Flying Dutchmen The first Flying Dutchman Legend was written in 1795, when Irish pickpocket George Barrington wrote his “Voyage to Botany Bay”. This was the result of captain Bernard Fokke’s behaviour: he was known for the “devilish” speed on his trips from Holland to Java. Some said that Fokke was aided by the Devil. And failed to notice the dark clouds looming. Only when he heard the lookout scream in terror, he did realise they sailed straight into a heavy storm.
