The mariner's shipmates all perish after the appearance of the specter woman and her death-mate in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." This occurred when they killed an albatross.
A dead albatross
The Polar Spirit seeks vengeance in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" because the ancient mariner shot an albatross, which was seen as a symbol of good luck and protection. By killing the albatross, the ancient mariner disrupted the natural order and brought misfortune upon himself and his shipmates. The Polar Spirit embodies nature's retribution for the ancient mariner's actions.
His shipmates were initially puzzled by the Mariner's shooting of the albatross, but as the consequences of his actions became more apparent, they turned hostile and blamed him for their misfortunes. Eventually, they viewed him with fear and superstition, believing he was cursed.

After the arrival of the albatross in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," it initially brings good fortune to the mariner and his shipmates, leading to favorable winds and a change in their luck. However, the mariner's decision to kill the albatross results in dire consequences, as the crew faces harsh conditions and supernatural retribution. The albatross becomes a symbol of guilt and burden, representing the mariner's deep remorse and the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, the poem explores themes of nature, sin, and redemption through the mariner's journey.
