What is The ghost pirates about?

Jessop joins the crew of the Mortzestus, a ship sailors say is cursed. At first, he laughs off the warnings, but strange events soon make him question everything. The sails suddenly fall still, ghostly shapes appear on deck and accidents threaten the crew. As the ship drifts across dark, dangerous waters, Jessop must discover whether restless spirits are haunting the vessel before the Mortzestus and everyone aboard are dragged beneath the sea.
