Best Answer

Misplacement after cleaning or proof of time warps is the significance of the captain's clock being upside down on the half brig Mary Celeste. The descriptions of the landing party from Captain David Morehouse's Dei Gratia and of the Gibraltar court records reveal that Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs' clock face was one of the items amiss on Mary Celeste. Some researchers tend toward an explanation of the face being removed for routine cleaning and replaced upside down whereas others turn toward such paranormal explanations as time warps.

What unordinary things were found on 'Mary Celeste'?

Abandoned personal possessions, absent lifeboats, cryptic statement, displaced stove, empty barrels, frayed halyard, marred hull, missing documentation and equipment, open portholes, scratched deck, standing water and upside down clock face number among the unordinary things on the abandoned, derelict, ghost, mystery ship Mary Celeste. It is not ordinary for foul weather gear to be abandoned, for first mate Albert Richardson to pen a pining note for his wife Frances as if the two never will see one another again, or for smoking pipes and tobacco to be left behind. It likewise is unordinary for the course not to have continued to be charted and for the entries not to have been maintained, beyond Santa María in the Azores.
