No one has yet been able to explain the mystery that surrounds the eerie disappearance of the crew of the Marie Celeste after the ship was found floating abandoned a month after her New York launch...
IF the ill-fated Titanic is forever linked with disaster, the Marie Celeste has become a byword for unexplained desertion.

Ghost Ship (2002) In a remote region of the Bering Sea, a boat salvage crew discovers the eerie remains of a grand passenger liner thought lost for more than 40 years. But once onboard the eerie.
Actually called the Mary Celeste, the refurbished brigatine sailed from New York on November 7 1872 - and was found mysteriously abandoned near the Azores Islands almost a month later.
The Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia found her in a dishevelled but seaworthy condition, under partial sail, and with her lifeboat missing. The last entry in her log was dated ten days earlier. She had left New York City for Genoa on November 7, skippered by a Bible-believing and highly respected seaman named Benjamin Briggs. On discovery she was still amply provisioned, her cargo of denatured alcohol was intact, and the captain's and crew's personal belongings were undisturbed. None of those who had been on board were ever seen or heard from again.
At the salvage hearings in Gibraltar, following her recovery, the court's officers considered various possibilities of foul play, including mutiny by Mary Celeste's crew, piracy by the Dei Gratia crew or others, and conspiracy to carry out insurance or salvage fraud. No convincing evidence supported any of these theories.
The inconclusive nature of the hearings helped to foster continued speculation as to the nature of the mystery, and the story has repeatedly been complicated by false detail and fantasy.
Other theories include the effects on the crew of alcohol fumes rising from the cargo, submarine earthquakes (seaquakes), waterspouts, attacks by giant squid, and paranormal intervention.
After the Gibraltar hearings, Mary Celeste continued in service under new owners. Then, in 1885, her captain deliberately wrecked her off the coast of Haiti, as part of an attempted insurance fraud.
The story of her 1872 abandonment has been recounted and dramatized many times, in documentaries, novels, plays and films.
The mystery over what happened to Captain Briggs and her crew, is never likely to be resolved.
