After the Mariner shoots and kills the albatross, the rest of the crew hang the albatross around the Mariner's neck to symbolize and punish the sailor for his crime, which they believe is responsible for their declining fortunes on the windless sea. After idling for some time, the Mariner and the rest of the crew encounter a ghostly ship carrying Death and his mate, an equally terrifying woman. This woman brings about the death of every member of the crew except for the Mariner, leaving him alone and isolated. As such, after the Mariner kills the albatross, the rest of the crew suffers death at the hands of ghostly and supernatural figures. However, this is not technically the last we see of the crew, as their dead bodies are fantastically animated with supernatural powers to sail the Mariner home later on in the poem.
