phantom ship (1935)

aka The Mystery of the Marie Celeste.
"I love Sarah, she's sailing with me."
The Captain ((Arthur Margetson) of the Marie Celeste, marries Sarah (Shirley Grey), and brings her on his next voyage. Much to the annoyance of Captain Morehead, who also loved Sarah and introduced them. Whilst storms rage trouble is brewing in the crew. Could it be that Morehead has employed someone to exact revenge for his supposed jilting. Or could it be Anton Lorenzen (Bela Lugosi), a man broken by being shanghaied previously, and anxious to be aboard.
A riff on the Marie Celeste mystery, that proposes how the ship was abandoned, has a convoluted whodunnit element.
