The Dutch ship sails strangely in front of the lighthouse due to the optical illusion created by the lighthouse's light and the ship's movement on the water. The combination of waves, wind, and the ship's hull design can make it appear as if it's swaying or moving erratically. Additionally, the positioning of the lighthouse can distort perceptions of distance and speed, creating an unusual visual effect. This phenomenon is often enhanced by atmospheric conditions that can alter how we perceive motion at sea.

In "Three Skeleton Key," the Dutch ship sails strangely due to the influence of the eerie setting and the supernatural elements at play. The lighthouse's light, which is supposed to guide ships safely, instead seems to lure the Dutch ship closer to disaster. This creates an atmosphere of foreboding, emphasizing the themes of isolation and impending doom as the crew encounters the menacing rats. The unusual behavior of the ship foreshadows the horror that unfolds in the story.
