Inducks description: Sea poem contest to win cruise trip

Landmark:

The last ten-pager Barks wrote and drew.
Gladstone Gander appears with sweater, beret, tumbled hair and a chin-tuft.
(One of the later Barks stories in which) Daisy wears a wig.

Research: The poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which Donald recites in this story, was written in 1798 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) from England. The poem deals with the Flying Dutchman, about which Carl Barks made an Uncle Scrooge story in the 1950s (US 25).

Congruences:

W WDC 99-02 radio quiz show: Donald studying books in order to win a quiz.
W US 25-02 and the Flying Dutchman: The Flying Dutchman, used as the story's theme.
