Donald Crowhurst built the Teignmouth Electron for a round-the-world
yacht race. Yet when the ship was found drifting in the Atlantic in
1969, Crowhurst was nowhere to be found. Based on the increasingly
bizarre log entries found on the ship, it’s believed that due to sailing
troubles he left the race and started reporting false positions, and
eventually jumped overboard to drown.

The ship then had several different owners, until it was left to decay in the Cayman Islands.
