The Queen Bee once more! Missing Nantucket fishing boat turns up in SPAIN - after more than three years and 3,000 miles

26-foot Queen Bee disappeared in Nantucket in 2008 after a storm

Resurfaced off the coast of Spain on last week

In 2008, Scott Douglas and his brother-in-law Rich St. Pierre were thrown overboard from their fishing boat off the coast of Nantucket during a horrendous storm, but were able to swim to safety.

More than three years after the Queen Bee was lost at sea, it turned up in the most unlikely of places - off the coast of Spain.

The ship made an incredible three-year journey across the continental shelf, startling the Spanish Coast Guard and surprising the boat's former owners.

Out of the sea: The Queen Bee emerged at the coast of Spain after a mysterious journey across the Atlantic

Before Davey Jones' locker: The Queen Bee looked like this Regulator 26, a fishing boat with two external motors

The 26-foot Queen Bee is a little worse for the wear and is covered in mould, rust, and barnacles, but its two motors are still attached, the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror reports.

The word ‘Nantucket’ is clearly visible written across the ship’s starboard.

According to Spanish media, the boat still contained a first-aid kit, a radio, fire extinguishers, and maps of the U.S. East Coast.

Mr Douglas, 58, was shocked to see the vessel again, and in a different form. ‘It looks entirely different,’ he said after he saw photos of the Regulator 26. ‘That’s amazing.’

Mr St Pierre agreed. ‘It’s a good ending and it’s nice to have some closure,' he told CBS Boston, 'but I’d love to know what happened to it over three and a half years.'

According to U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Lt Joe Klinker, the boat most likely travelled so far by catching the Gulf Stream.

Still visible: The word 'Nantucket' - where the ship sank more than there years ago - is still clear and legible on the ship's bow

The incredible journey: Coast Guard officials believe the Queen Bee caught the Gulf Stream along the ocean's continental shelf, allowing it to travel so far

Lt Klinker said it was incredibly rare, but not unheard of, for a ship to make such a long journey, or emerge from the depths of Davey Jones' locker.

It was uncommon that the 26-foot Queen Bee made a trans-Atlantic journey without being destroyed.

'It’s a good ending and it's nice to have some closure, but I’d love to know what happened to it over three and a half years.'
-Survivor Rich St. Pierre

Mr Douglas told msnbc.com that the weather was very violent in August 2008 when he was out fishing in the Queen Bee. ‘You wouldn’t want to be dumped in the ocean out there.’

But a rogue wave sent him and Mr St Pierre, 68, overboard and into the tumultuous currents.

While Mr Douglas could tread water easily enough, Mr St Pierre had open heart surgery the year before and was struggling.

Miraculously, a survival kit had fallen overboard, the only thing to fall from their stricken boat.

That helped the two of them swim about an hour to an island, where they were able to use a cabin’s phone to call the Coast Guard.

‘At the end of the day, it just wasn’t our time,’ Mr Douglas told msnbc.com.

He now lives in New Jersey and has no interest in getting his boat back. But he said it might make a good children’s book to be read to his four grandchildren.

"It was Lighting, lighting came down struck the boat and the boat caught fire. I swear to God."

I heard that at least 3 times after different 4:30 in the morning boat fires just off Long Island.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it.
And he said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
"If my ear were a cunt, I would fuck it."

A gay young transexual named Bloom
Took a French hermaphrodite to his room
And all through the night
They'd fuss and they'd fight
Over who would do what, and to whom

There once was a man from Mass
who's balls were made of brass
In Stormy weather he clanked them together
And lightning shot out his ass.

A lemon haired dandy from Boston
Bought for himself a small Austin
There was room for his ass
And a gallon of gas
But his balls would hang out, so he lost 'em

There was a young lady from Wheeling
Who professed to no sexual feeling
Till a cynic named Boris
Just touched her clitoris
And she had to be scraped off the ceiling.

There was a man named Nick
He had a corkscrew dick
Spent his life on a futile hunt
For the girl with the corkscrew cunt
He found that girl and fucked her dead
Son of a bitch,left hand thread

Said the dowager duchess at tea,
"Young man, do you fart when you pee?"
I replied, "Not a bit.
Do you belch when you shit?"
- Which I'd say left the honors with me.
