No the last report was in in 1959, when a Dutch freighter called the Straat Magelhaen reported an extremely close encounter with a ghostly sailing ship. Her sails were full, she was moving extremely quickly, and she was so close that the crew of the freighter could clearly see a lone man steering the craft. Collision seemed inevitable, but the apparition vanished right before impact. There are no major documented sightings of The Flying Dutchman after 1959. The reasons differ depending on who you talk to, but I believe it could be merely because traffic around the Cape of Good Hope is much lower now than in past centuries, with most ships preferring to sail the much shorter route into the Mediterranean Ocean and through the Suez Canal in order to navigate between Asia and Europe.
