The Palatine Light is an apparition reported near Block Island, Rhode Island, said to be the ghost ship of a lost 18th-century vessel named the Palatine.The folklore account is based on the historical wreck of the Princess Augusta in 1738, which became known as the Palatine in 19th-century accounts, including John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "The Palatine".
The ship was set alight and burned for days. When the fire stopped, the ship did not succumb to the fire and remained in the dock as a wreck. Cabot Cruising Club purchased the ship in 1954 for £275. They rebuilt the ship into an event location with a bar for their club to host socialising events. [citation needed]
