On December 4, 1872, a ship in the colors of England and the United States — the Mary Celeste — was found adrift in the Atlantic, not a single crew member on board. Yet, all seemed functional on the boat and the freighter was intact except for a used lifeboat. But why? We’ll probably never know, none of its sailors was ever seen again. In November 1872, the Mary Celeste left port from New York to Genoa, Italy. Onboard were Captain Benjamin Briggs and seven crew members, including his wife and their two-year-old girl. The ship was carrying enough provisions to keep them alive for six months, and they even found a sewing machine and a piano.
Analysts agree that the complete abandonment of a vessel in perfect seaworthiness requires a dramatic event. However, the last entry in the Mary Celeste’s register refers to nothing unusual and everything was in order onboard.
In the following years, some new theories emerged. Was it a mutiny? Pirates? An attack from a giant octopus or another “sea monster”? During the last years, some scientists have suggested that alcohol vapors on board could have caused an explosion — the result of a scientific anomaly — which would have left no trace of fire, but terrifying enough for a quick evacuation to be immediately started. http://www.maryceleste.net/
