I too, see the Chaucer reference. Other than that I've always felt it was lyricly an "acidy" song. The melody is like church music to me. Love it.

To me it is a very simple straightforward song about a ghost ship. The lyrics are hauntingly clear. It may have been inspired by a book or history. It reminds me of some of the stories my father (a merchant marine) used to tell me. Sailors have lots of stories that border on the paranormal. I guess it's the mystery of the sea.
