Mary Celeste

US ship that was found adrift in the Atlantic, abandoned but intact, on 5 December 1872. It had sailed from New York on 7 November, bound for Genoa, Italy. The deserted vessel was discovered about 1000 km/600 mi west of Gibraltar, and brought to port. Despite the most searching inquiry, the fate of all those on board the Mary Celeste remains a mystery.

Mary Celeste was a brigantine (two-masted sailing ship) of 287 tonnes. Her crew comprised the master, B S Briggs (accompanied by his wife and child), and seven sailors. The ship was carrying a cargo of crude alcohol.
