A ghost ship is a supposedly haunted or ghostly vessel, such as the Flying Dutchman. The same term is also used to describe derelict ships found adrift with their entire crew either missing or dead, such as the Mary Celeste or the Baychimo. It may sometimes also be used to refer to ships which have been decommissioned but not yet scrapped, such as the Clemenceau.
Here's a top ten list of ghost ships.

A bad start at #10.
The Deering does not count as a ghost ship since it was found aground. There is no evidence at all that the crew did not abandon the ship after she ran aground. To qualify as a ghost ship it must be found afloat and drifting.
