Distant Phantom Ship
Distant Phantom Ship

The Phantom Ship is made up of volcanic ejecta and 400,000 year old andesite lava. The hull of the "ship" is formed of volcanic ejecta, while the masts are part of a giant dike. The Phantom Ship was part of a 400,000 year old formation known as "The Phantom Cone", a precursor to the great Mt. Mazama. It was the first major volcano which erupted in the general vicinity of Mt. Mazama.

Although the Phantom Ship looks diminutive from the edge of the rim, in reality the feature is quite large and appears so when viewed from the surface, such as from the lake tour boat. The island rises 163 feet above the surface of the lake, as high as a 16 story building. The island is about 500 feet long.
