One-hundred three feet (31.39 meters) is Mary Celeste's length. The figure represents the measurement upon completion of the hermaphrodite brig's refitting under James Winchester's ownership, before the ship's most famous and mysterious voyage between New York and the Azores in November 1872. It was increased from the original length of 99.3 feet (30.27 meters) recorded for the vessel just before launching, under the original name of Amazon, off Nova Scotia, in May 1861.
