Why would a ship's captain haunt a HOUSE and NOT a ship?
One would imagine that a ghost would haunt someplace that he spent most of his life living. Instead, the captain turned out to be a landlover.
shareThe captain had retired from the sea before he died. His house, which he designed himself, and oversaw the building of was now his ship. It's mentioned over and over again in the series. The monkey puzzle tree was the mast of his ship. He always called the kitchen the galley. The attic was his wheelhouse, and so on. His house was his ship.
How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.
Also he died in the house. So he was kind of grounded there.
