The Mary Celeste


Listen Later

The fate of the Mary Celeste was anything but ordinary. What should have been a straightforward journey turned into one of the most baffling mysteries in maritime history. In the late autumn of 1872, a sturdy merchant ship named the Mary Celeste set out from New York Harbor. Captained by Benjamin Briggs, a highly respected seaman, the ship was also maintained by an experienced crew. The voyage was expected to have been uneventful. However, the events that took place were anything but. Later discovered to be adrift in the ocean, the captain, the crew, had all gone with no explanation.
