The Mary Celeste was a merchant ship found by the brigantine Dei Gratia, under full sail without crew on 4th December 1872 in the East Atlantic Ocean at 38" 20' N, 17" 15' W, having set out from New York bound for Genoa less than a month beforehand. With plenty of provisions on board and the vessel in prime sailing condition where had the crew gone? Was it the victim of a storm? Had there been a mutiny? Was disease the answer to this ghost ship conundrum? Or was it an insurance scam perhaps? What say you? Discuss...
