The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from the 17th-century golden age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The oldest extant version has been dated to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be glowing with ghostly light. If hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman will try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.

The Dutchman had some authority but he was not the commander of any ship. He was a rude and angry man who scolded Gulliver and decided to throw him back into the sea. When Gulliver told him that being a Christian, he should show some kindness and set Gulliver free, he was even more enraged.
In contrast to this, the Japanese was the captain of one of the ships. He was not able to speak Dutch with much perfection. He appeared to be a calm person. He listened to Gulliver with patience and told him that he would not be made to die
