Introduction:
It's a strange story, recounted as a sailing ship was discovered unmanned
The story of the Mary Celeste is considered the greatest maritime mystery
of all time. On December 4, 1872, the ship was discovered floating in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The crew had simply vanished. The ship had
sustained no damage, was not at risk of sinking, and was stocked with food
and supplies. The lifeboat was missing, but there's no indication of why the
crew would jump ship, never to be heard of again.
