the mid-Atlantic in 1872. On December 4, 1872, the Mary Celeste was
spotted by the British ship Dei Gratis. The Mary Celeste looked
strange because the sails were not fully set and no crew members
could be seen. Crew members of the Dai Gratis immediately took a
boat over to the Mary Celeste. They identifies the ship as the Mary
Celeste, which had left New ork on November 7 with a full load and
ten people on board.

was on the ship; the ship had simply been left in the middle of the
ocean. No obvious reason why the ship had been abandones could be
seen. There were plenty of supplues, the complete cargo was still on
board, the crew's belongings were there, and there was no sign of
violence disaster. However, one of the longboats and the captain's
navigational instruments were missing.

seven crew members, had decided to abandon the ship in the middle of
the ocean, never to be seen again..
