The Isle of Lost Ships is a 1923 American silent adventure/melodrama film produced and directed by Maurice Tourneur. It was distributed by Associated First National Pictures.[1] The film is based on the novel The Isle of Dead Ships written by Crittenden Marriott around 1909. In 1929, director Irvin Willat, re-filmed the story.[2][3]
