The '''Ship of Horrors''' is a [[Dread Possibility]] and an unconnectional [[mistway]]. Conventional mistways take the form of paths through the [[Mists]], but variants have been occasionally documented. The Ship of Horrors is one such example. Rather than existing at a fixed location, it operates through an existing sailing [[ship]].
