The British ship Dei Gratia was about 400 miles east of the Azores on December 5, 1872, when crew members spotted a ship adrift in the rough seas. Captain David Morehouse was taken aback to discover that the ship unguided. Morehouse sent a boarding party to the ship, rowing up to the silent ship, the men read the name Mary Celeste on her bow. Mary Celeste’s only lifeboat was missing. There was a six-month supply of food and water—but not a soul to consume it. Thus was born one of the most durable mysteries in nautical history: What happened to the ten people who had sailed aboard the Mary Celeste? Through the decades, a lack of hard facts has only spurred speculation as to what might have taken place. Theories have ranged from mutiny to pirates to alien abduction to killer waterspouts.
