After the Mariner kills the Albatross, a ghostly ship appears and its crew members force the Mariner to wear the dead Albatross around his neck as a punishment. The ship is then becalmed, leading the crew to suffer from thirst and eventually die, leaving only the Mariner alive to reflect on his actions.
After the albatross arrives, the crew hails it as a good omen, but the Mariner shoots it with his crossbow, angering the spirits of the sea. As a result, the wind stops blowing, leaving the ship stranded in the calm sea.

The albatross was a harbinger of good weather as is evident from the fact that the ship was sailing smoothly over a serene mirror-like surface. The mariner's killing the albatross brought ill luck to the ship and crew. The serenity of the sea vanished, storm gathered, evil atmosphere enveloped the ship, the sailors dropped down dead one by one, they became a ghastly crew and the ship became a ghostly ship. The favourable wind withdrew which made the ship turn round and round.
It came from nowhere, and it lead the ship and the crew to safety from the deadly storm near the start of the poem. It was considered their saviour. When the Ancient Mariner shot the Albatross, it was as if the Ancient Mariner shot their hope, and this was why he was punished cruelly. As soon as it died, the crew started to suffer from draught, and eventually has their souls stolen, which emphasizes what happens when they lose hope, and reiterates how essential the Albatross was.
if you shoot his ship he will ask you to help but if he knows you did it he will want your bells
