Trivia: What sea captain’s ship was so tall that it touched the moon?
Captain Nemo
Blackbeard
Captain Stormalong
Captain Ahab
The correct answer is Captain Stormalong
So why is this answer correct? : Fictional Captain Alfred Bulltop Stormalong’s ship, the Courser, was so tall that the masts had hinges to avoid scraping against the moon. According to legend, when the captain tried to sail through the English Channel, the massive ship ran aground in the narrow passage, thus cutting out the Cliffs of Dover in its wake. Caribbean hurricanes caused problems for the captain as well, and once caused the ship to dig a channel across the Isthmus of Panama, creating the Panama Canal.
