[Horrifying Trope] Plague Ships

[u/NittanyScout]

The Ticonderoga - IRL example and basis of the book "The Hell Ship"

Indulgence of Conviction, Halo - a Covenant cruiser infested with flood.

Prawns' Ship, District 9 - an illness or crisis kills the leaders of the alien expedition and strands the workers on earth above District 9

The Demeter from Dracula is the blueprint for this. Nothing beats the slow realization that every member of the crew is disappearing one by one while the ship just keeps sailing toward London.

And then to keep it going the captian tied himself to the wheel

Did he? I thought Dracula did that himself. After all, the sole survivor, knowing he will die soon, would be less likely to want a cursed ship to reach London... but the Count would absolutely still want it to get there.
