Jessop is on board the Mortzestus which he soon finds to be a vessel with more than just the usual crew on board. The narration provides us with the suspense as Jessop and the other crew members experience more extraordinary events onboard the ship.

* GhostPirate: Given the title this trope is appropriate here but by ghost we mean shapeless entities and by pirates we mean they take over the ship. For a book called "The Ghost Pirates" your expectations of a ghost pirate have never been more swerved.
* GhostShip: Jessop spies what he assumes to be the pirates ship under the water. There is also a scene where they spy another ship passing by but they can't contact it implying the Mortzestus has become one.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Very different inf act they may just be entities from another dimension.
* TheSiege: The ghost pirates invade the Mortzestus and they try to handle it as best they can, which is basically not good at all.
* SoleSurvivor: Jessop ends up being the only survivor of the Mortzestus.

* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Some of the books earliest encounters with the entities are played out like these kind of encounters with people on deck encountering footsteps where there should be any.

This is one i could probably do better if i reread the book again, but getting it up for others to spruce up is a step in the right direction.

* SoleSurvivor: Jessop ends up being the only survivor of the Mortzestus.
* ThematicSeries: This book is the third installment of what [[WordOfGod Hodgson]] referred to as a trilogy. None of the three books share the same characters, and it's debatable on whether they're even supposed to be in the same continuity. In terms of plot and setting, the first and second books in this trilogy - ''The Boats of the "Glen Carrig"'' and ''Literature/TheHouseOnTheBorderland'', respectively - don't have all that much in common with each other.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Some of the books earliest encounters with the entities are played out like these kind of encounters with people on deck encountering footsteps where there should be any.
