One of the great maritime mysteries
is that of the Mary Celeste. Over 125 years ago, the ship was found
floating, crewless, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in apparent pristine
condition. The fate of the crew and passengers has never been adequately
explained. The Mary Celeste was launched in 1861, from the shipyard at
Spencer's Island near the head of the Bay of Fundy, under the name Amazon.
Following an accidental grounding at Cow Bay in Cape Breton in 1868, she was
repaired and renamed the Mary Celeste. She operated under an American
flag out of New York. On November 7, 1872, the Mary Celeste sailed under
the command of Captain Benjamin Briggs bound for Europe with a cargo of wines
and liquors. He was accompanied by his wife, his young daughter and a crew of
seven. On
December 4, 1872, the Mary Celeste was found floating 600 miles off Gibraltar.
The official reports stated that everything to be in good order, except that
the ship's paper and its chronometer were missing. The last entry into the
captain's logs, on November 24, gave no indication of anything untoward
happening or about to happen.
