The Palatin: This Folktale was about a ship off the shores of Rhode Island. The ship was carrying passengers and cargo to the state, when it hit rough weather. When the storm had died out the passengers had realized that the crew had murdered the captain, and were holding them hostage. For days, they charged the hostages high amounts for food and necessities. One day the passengers woke up to find that all of their belongings had been stolen and the crew was gone. So not knowing what else to do they decided to paddle back to shore and burn the ship so it wouldn't crash into another ship in its path. As they were paddling away from the burning ship, they hear the screaming of a woman, who had apparently been left on the ship. Until this day they say if you look off the shores of Rhode Island, you see a ship appear then catch on fire and disappear.
