This week on Dee-Brief, Dee sets sail into one of history’s eeriest maritime mysteries - The Ghost Ship Mary Celeste.

A fully stocked, seaworthy ship found adrift in the Atlantic… dinner still on the table… but not a single soul on board. What really happened to Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife and daughter, and their seven-man crew when the Mary Celeste was discovered in 1872?

From the alcohol-fumes explosion theory to storms, mutiny, and even the supernatural, Dee unpacks the facts, the fictions, and why this “ghost ship” still haunts the world’s imagination 150 years later.
