Mary Celeste: The Solved Mystery of a Ghost Ship

202

Synopsis

Mary Celeste was an American Brigantine ship found adrift and deserted off the coast of Azores, on December 4, 1872.

News media at the time pointed the finger at pirates, or the possibility that they had been abducted by outer space creatures, or perhaps the crew drank the denatured alcohol on board and everyone went mad killing each other. The vanishing of Captain Briggs, his wife, child and crew remained a ghostly mystery for over a century and a half until now, when Dr. Veronica Esagui was told the true story of the Mary Celeste by those that lived through such fateful voyage.
