Synopsis
Uncle Beans and the kids are off to visit haunted ship 'The Phantom' trapped in the ice, hoping to find pirate treasure. They encounter all manner of ghosts and goblins, but eventually find what they've been looking for. When Beans tries to warm up by throwing some chairs in a stove and lighting it, he thaws out a pair of pirates that chase the trio around. The treasure-seekers are eventually forced back into their plane and they fly away.

I think a bit more could have done with this movie, telling it from more than one perspective and making more of hanuted phantom aspect which this movie seems to have completely left out. (The title being based on the term for a ship found with no one onboard.) The main thread of the plot is along the lines of "then there were none." but at sea of course. Acting was ok. Script could really do with some work though. Overall not great.
