Why did Oliver Deveau have to return to Gibraltar from Genoa Italy regarding 'Mary Celeste'?
Provision of information for investigations and trials and reunion with his captain are reasons why Oliver Deveau had to return to Gibraltar from Genoa, Italy, regarding Mary Celeste. The first mate of Dei Gratia boarded Mary Celeste twice and sailed the half brig to Gibraltar for salvage proceedings regarding awards for a derelict ship whose 10 passengers were missing and volatile cargo was intact, excepting nine empty barrels of industrial alcohol. His trip to and from Genoa, Italy, was made without the admiralty court's approval or knowledge since he sailed to and from Gibraltar to deliver Dei Gratia's long overdue load.
Where was 'Mary Celeste' going?
The ship Mary Celeste was going east.
Who was sent to investigate 'Mary Celeste'?
People selected by the captain of Dei Gratia, the officials of the Gibraltar Admiralty Court proceedings, and the owner of Mary Celeste were sent to investigate Mary Celeste. The above-mentioned list of investigators references the individuals who looked into the accidental or deliberate abandonment of Mary Celeste in November or December 1872. There was a subsequent check -- by court, government, and insurance-selected individuals -- of the hermaphrodite brig after the cargo ship's purported ramming off Haiti's Rochelais Reef in January 1885.
Were there suspects for 'Mary Celeste'?
Yes, there was a pool of suspects for Mary Celeste. Suspicion by Gibraltar Admiralty court proceedings regarding salvage awards was focused upon the captains and the crews of the distressed ship Mary Celeste and the Good Samaritan ship Dei Gratia. Over time, suspicion widens to include the insurance companies, the merchants of the contracted cargo and the owners as well as pirates, salvagers, sea-quakes and waterspouts.

The Dei Gratia found the Mary Celeste.
What was in the barrels aboard 'Mary Celeste'?
Industrial alcohol was in the barrels aboard Mary Celeste.
Why is the Mary celeste called the Mary celeste?
Mary Celeste was a British ship built in Canada during the British ownership of the US and Canada. Mary is the name of the daughter of the man who built the ship. Celeste is Spanish roughly meaning "heavenly beauty".
Was there a storm at the time 'Mary Celeste' was found?
No, there was no storm at the time Mary Celeste was found on Monday, December 4, 1872 (standard reckoning) or on Tuesday, December 5, 1872 (nautical reckoning). There nevertheless was stormy weather between New York and the Azores during the month of November. There also were storms after the hermaphrodite brig was discovered by the captain and the crew of Dei Gratia and before crew members from Dei Gratia landed Mary Celeste in Gibraltar.
Why did the crew abandon 'Mary Celeste'?
Nobody knows why the crew abandoned the half brig Mary Celeste. Gibraltar's Admiralty Court left a judgment of responsibility on the captains and crew of Mary Celeste and of Dei Gratia, the hermaphrodite brig's savior from days of yawing between the Azores and Portugal. Twentieth and twenty-first-century reconstructions range from accidental drowning of the Mary Celeste 10 (of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen) -- in an overloaded, rickety lifeboat because of a ship endangered by explosions, fumes, seaquakes or water spouts -- to disappearance by conspiracy or fraud and murder by pirates.
Did they find people from 'Mary Celeste'?
No, the people aboard Mary Celeste during the half brig's accidental or deliberate abandonment never have been found. Dei Gratia Captain David Reed Morehouse, whose crew guided the ghost ship from off Portugal to Gibraltar, opined that the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen were forced to abandon a troubled ship for a precarious lifeboat that sank. The families of those aboard the hermaphrodite brig in question never spoke of hearing from, knowing about or seeing the Mary Celeste Ten ever again.
What are opinions on 'Mary Celeste'?
Personal views or professional statements are definitions of opinions on the half brig Mary Celeste. An example of a personal view is the astute comment by David Reed Morehouse, Captain of Dei Gratia, that the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen most likely perished in an overloaded, rickety lifeboat after abandoning the hermaphrodite brig. An example of a professional statement is the legal conclusion by the Gibraltar Admiralty Court that vilifies everyone aboard Dei Gratia and Mary Celeste to its own enrichment and to the detriment of the saviors of the yawing part barkentine part schooner.
