There is a pot immediately adjacent to the one that you just came through. Use a fire arrow to burn the pot, or grab a stick from just around the corner and light it using the torch. Jump onto the pot and head on through.

Playing the Ballad of Gales and then quickly sailing over to one of the islands with the Ghost Ship is often times too slow. The day moves rather quickly and by the time you see the Ghost Ship, daytime might break and you might not be able to board the ship.

Instead, the best strategy is to go to any of the locations where the Ghost Ship is present and then just play the Song of Passing until the Ghost Ship appears in the location where you are. Once you find the Ghost Ship, sail right into the ship with the King of Red Lions and Link will automatically climb on board.

Once you make it inside of the Ghost Ship, you'll encounter a series of familiar enemies. There are a pair of Poes, a Wizzrobe, and a ReDead. There is some light shining in at the side of the room, so use that, along with the Mirror Shield to defeat the Poes and ReDeads.
