Ghost ship: The mary celeste
Ghost Ship: The Mary Celeste is one of the most mysterious and enduring maritime mysteries in history. On December 5, 1872, the Mary Celeste, an American merchant brigantine, was found drifting in the Atlantic Ocean, abandoned by its crew, in good condition but with no apparent explanation for what had happened to the crew. The Mary Celeste had been carrying a cargo of denatured alcohol from New York to Genoa, Italy, and was last seen by another ship about 600 miles east of the Azores on November 25, 1872. The discovery of the abandoned ship was made by the Dei Gratia, a Canadian brigantine, which was sailing from New York to Gibraltar. The captain of the Dei Gratia, David Morehouse, spotted the Mary Celeste in the distance and became suspicious when he saw that the ship was sailing erratically and appeared to be low in the water. As the Dei Gratia approached the Mary Celeste, Morehouse and his crew became increasingly concerned, as there was no sign of the crew on board. Upon boarding the Mary Celeste, Morehouse and his crew found the ship to be in good condition, with no signs of violence or foul play. The cargo of denatured alcohol was intact, and there was plenty of food and water on board. The only unusual thing they found was that the ship's lifeboat was missing, and the ship's papers and logbook were gone. The Mary Celeste's crew, consisting of the captain, his wife, and their two-year-old daughter, as well as seven crew members, were never seen or heard from again. The only clue as to what might have happened to them was a single lifeboat that was found floating nearby. However, the lifeboat was in good condition and did not appear to have been used recently. The discovery of the Mary Celeste sparked a frenzy of speculation and theories about what had happened to the crew. Some suggested that the crew had been attacked by pirates or had been taken by a sea monster. Others suggested that the crew had mutinied, or that they had been overcome by fumes from the denatured alcohol on board. Over the years, many investigations and theories have been put forward to explain the mystery of the Mary Celeste. In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, the crew of the Dei Gratia was accused of piracy and murder, but they were eventually exonerated after an investigation by the British government.
