The crews of both ships appear and the townsmen rush to the scene. The Dutchman reveals his identity and de-clares himself cursed forever.He springs upon his ship—the crimson sails expand as ifby magic and the ship de-parts, with the crew chantingtheir weird refrain. Senta, in wild exaltation,rushes to the shore callingtoward the departing vessel:I am faithful unto death,and throws herself into thesea. The Flying Dutchmansinks beneath the water, andrising from the wreck can beseen the forms of Senta andthe Dutchman clasped in eachothers arms. The curse hasbeen banished—true love hastriumphed!
