How the PirateShip is going to traverse the Nevada desert is what I've been wondering. Huh

His ship is probably better known as the "Flying Dutchman".

From Wikipedia:

Quote

Sir Walter Scott (17711832), a friend of John Leyden's, was the first to refer to the vessel as a pirate ship, writing in the notes to Rokeby; a poem (first published December 1812) that the ship was "originally a vessel loaded with great wealth, on board of which some horrid act of murder and piracy had been committed" and that the apparition of the ship "is considered by the mariners as the worst of all possible omens."

Note that pirate is approximately 200 years too late...
