The Schooner

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: The area effecting SCP-XXXX is to be monitored at all times for manifestation. Any and all appearances are to be recorded and reported immediately. Upon manifestation of SCP-XXXX a temporary perimeter is to be made within one square mile of the apparition.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be an English Schooner of mid to late 19th century origin. It appears to be weathered but still in operable condition. The Schooner will manifest itself in varying locations throughout northern Nunavut and south eastern Greenland, particularly in the Northwest Passage heading in a westward direction. During every recorded manifestation the ship is stationary due to immobilization from the ice. The time in which SCP-XXXX manifests and the duration seem to be random. SCP-XXXX's manifestation appears to be more common during the winter months, most notably mid to late February, apparitions are rare during other times of the year with exception to abnormally cold weather. Following the apparition of the Schooner the manifestation of four humans and one canine, will appear at random locations near or within the Schooner. The majority of the manifestations seem unaware of the Foundations staff or any other persons nearby, however they can be physically manipulated. SCP-XXXX-1, is a Caucasian male, age 40-50, he has never been seen outside of SCP-XXXX, and would appear to be the captain. SCP-XXXX-2 is a Caucasian male, ages 20-30, he is clothed in Arctic apparel during every manifestation, he is usually seen outside of SCP-XXXX with SCP-XXXX-3, upon the manifestation he will preform a wide variety of acts such as work related duties. SCP-XXXX-3 is a Caucasian male, seeming to be the youngest of the group (suspected age: 16-25), he is seen preforming many randomized tasks outside of the ship. SCP-XXXX-C is in the form of a Canine strongly resembling a German Shepherd, SCP-XXXX-C has never been witnessed outside of the ship and usually affiliates with SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-4 Is a humanoid entity of unknown gender and age. The subject appears black and is covered with an oil like brown film, encountering the scent of sulfur is common upon nearing SCP-XXXX-4. The subject is strongly deformed with disproportionate body mass and is the only one of the anomalies to observe the foundation staff. It is believed the subject is not part of the original crew as apposed to the other apparitions. No further signs of the remaining crew have been found.

Addendum: Upon one investigation a log by the captain was attained which involved a picture (seen above) and a manuscript of a voyage. The majority of the pages have been severally altered, manipulated, or simply removed, leaving only one eligible page which contains the following:
