Page "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman" Paragraph 9
from
Wikipedia
On the eve of her wedding, Pandora approaches Geoffrey, pleading to understand who Hendrick really is.
Once he sees the Flying Dutchman setting his sails, he hands her the translated copy of the notebook.
On learning the truth, Pandora swims to the Dutchman's becalmed yacht.
He shows her a portrait of his murdered wife and she realizes why the painting of Pandora looked like her ; van der Zee was painting from memory.
Hendrik explains they were once man and wife and through this he has been given the chance to lift his punishment, but he has rejected it because it would mean the loss of her life yet again.
Pandora realizes this is why he has never felt like a stranger to her, and why she has come to him now, unafraid.
He accepts her love and they are reunited for eternity.
That night, a fierce sea storm overturns the yacht.
The next morning, the bodies of Pandora and the Dutchman wash up on shore.
Their destinies have been fulfilled and the curse has been lifted.
