The Mary Celeste (1872, Atlantic Ocean)

In December 1872, the merchant ship Dei Gratia encountered a ghost ship drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. The vessel was the Mary Celeste - a seaworthy brigantine found completely abandoned yet largely intact. Her cargo, crew's belongings, and six months' worth of provisions remained untouched. The captain's family, including his wife and young daughter, had vanished along with the entire crew. The last log entry, dated ten days earlier, showed nothing amiss. No signs of struggle, no blood, no disorder - just an empty ship with a hot meal left half-eaten and valuables undisturbed. The disappearance of the Mary Celeste's passengers launched maritime investigations, wild theories, and a mystery that remains unsolved over 150 years later. Join us as we explore one of history's most enduring maritime mysteries.
