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]

Maurice Tourneur himself also created a different film with a similar theme called The Ship of Lost Souls in 1929, featuring the young German actress, Marlene Dietrich in the cast.[4]

The 1923 version of the film is believed to be lost, and no longer available.[5]
