MARY CELESTE

The crew of the Mary Celeste would have alot to say if we knew where they were.

On December 4th, 1872, Captain David Morehouse of the Dei Gratia sighted a ship. When they got closer they sighted the words Mary Celeste. The Mary Celeste was a 103 foot ship that weighed 282 tons. It left New York a month earlier. The ship carried 1,700 barrels of alcohol and also carried ten people. Three of those people were the ship's captain, his wife and their baby daughter.

When the Dei Gratia reached the ship they found no one on board. The ship wasn't damaged, the cargo was still there, even personal objects were left in their place.Toys were on the captain's bed as though he had been playing with the baby.

Some people say that a tornado struck the ship but why was the ship undamaged? Some others say pirates claimed the ship but why was the cargo left? We may never know.
