In December 1872, a merchant ship was discovered drifting in the Atlantic Ocean between the Azores and the coast of Portugal.

The vessel was the Mary Celeste.

Her cargo was intact.
Her sails were still set.
Her lifeboat was missing.

But every member of the crew had vanished.

There were no signs of struggle.
No evidence of piracy.
No clear explanation for why the captain, his family, and the crew abandoned a ship that appeared seaworthy.

For more than a century, the fate of the Mary Celeste has remained one of the most enduring maritime mysteries ever recorded.

In this episode of Archive Vault Podcast, we examine the discovery of the vessel, the last confirmed movements of the crew, and the theories that emerged after the abandoned ship was brought back to port.
