1840 English The Spectre Ship
1850ⓘ Translated by G. P. Quackenbos, published in 1849 as 1850
 English The History of the Spectre Ship
1858ⓘTranslated by Herbert Pelham Curtis
 English The Spectral Ship
1886ⓘTranslated by S. Mendel.
 English The Story of the Haunted Ship
1905ⓘ Translated by Sybil Thesiger Thesiger modifies the sequence of stories contained within the Caravan frame story, and rearranges frame-story content between some stories, and at the end of the entire work, to match that rearrangement. No doubt the motive for rearrangement is to place this story last in the cycle. The meaning of the main part of the title (Orbasan the Robber) is unrelated to that of the German original (Haunted/ Spectral/ Spectre Ship) because it refers to the one who tells the story of the concluding chapter, rather than the content of the story in the concluding chapter. That frame-story content of the concluding chapter is assembled from framework of multiple days/nights of the original cycle.
 English The History of Orbasan, the Robber
1978ⓘTranslated by A. Tallon, first in Hauff's La Caravane, 1855.

3/6?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
