Nobody knows what happened to the lifeboat of the half brig Mary Celeste in November or December 1872. Benjamin Spooner Briggs, captain and minority shareholder and owner, thought that the three lifeboats needed to be replaced even though historians question whether James H. Winchester, majority owner and shareholder, ever complied. There was no evidence of lifeboats having been on the hermaphrodite brig in question other than a frayed halyard that may have served as a towline along with unexplained marks that may have occurred in the course of mooring a rickety lifeboat on the deck.

It comes from the Russian word for minority. There were two factions in the Russian Social Democratic (Marxist) Party at its Party Congress in Brussels in 1903. One was more moderate, while the other, led by Lenin, was more radical. The moderate group was in the majority, however many of that faction walked out of the Congress because of Lenin's actions. This left Lenin's group with a temporary technical majority, or in Russian, bolshinstvo, in the Congress. Lenin declared his group the Bolsheviks (majorityites) even though strictly speaking they had a minority of the members of the Party. The other group came to be known as the Mensheviks (minorityites) even though they, strictly speaking, had the majority of members in the Party.
Bolsheviki The Bolsheviks were actually a minority faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. The majority faction was the Mensheviks. At a RSDLP congress in Brussels in 1903, Lenin put up for a vote a measure on how stringent the leadership of the RSDLP should be. Several members of the RSDLP walked out in protest, giving Lenin a one vote majority for that one vote. Lenin promptly called his party the Bolsheviks, meaning majorityites even though in terms of number they were a distinct minority. For some reason, the majority faction became known as the Mensheviks, meaning minoritites even though their numbers exceeded that of the Bolsheviks.
