الهولندي الطائر: الفرق بين النسختين

{{اقتباس|عندما كان الطقس عاصفا قال البحارة أنهم رأوا ''الهولندي الطائر''. والقصة الشائعة تقول أن ''الهولندي الطائر'' جائت إلى رأس الرجاء الصالح في اسغاثة بسبب الطقس السيء وأرادت أن ترسو في الميناء ولكن لم تتمكن من الحصول على إرشادات للقيام بذلك وضاعت، ومنذ ذلك الحين لاتظهر إلا في الأحول الجوية السيئة.<ref>{{مرجع كتاب|last1=MacDonald|first1=John|title=Travels in various part of Europe, Asia and Africa during a series of thirty years and upward|editor=Forbes, London|date=1790|page=276|url=https://books.google.fr/books?id=jCBhAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA276&dq=%22flying+dutchman%22&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAWoVChMIgoyTpZ7BxwIVx74UCh14uQ0_#v=onepage&q=%22flying%20dutchman%22&f=false}}</ref>}}

 

ونسبت إلى جورج بارينغتون (1755-1804):{{refn|George Barrington (originally Waldron) was tried at the [[Old Bailey]] in [[لندن]] in September 1790 for picking pockets and sentenced to [[نقل]] for seven years. He embarked on the convict transport ''Active'' which sailed from [[بورتسموث]] on 27 March 1791 and arrived at [[Port Jackson]] (Sydney), just to the north of [[Botany Bay]], on 26 September, having anchored briefly at [[Table Bay]] in very late June. The various accounts of his voyage and activities in [[نيوساوث ويلز]] appear to be literary forgeries by publishers capitalizing both on his notoriety and in public interest for the new colony, combining turns of phrase from his trial speeches with plagiarized genuine accounts of other writers concerning Botany Bay. See ''George Barrington's Voyage to Botany Bay'' edited by Suzanne Rickard (Leicester University Press, 2001). ''A Voyage to Botany Bay'' and ''A Voyage to New South Wales'', both issued in 1795, were revamped versions of ''An Impartial and Circumstantial Narrative of the Present State of Botany Bay'', which had appeared in 1793–94, but which did not include the ''Flying Dutchman'' reference.|group=nb}}
