It is unknown how many people died on Mary Celeste's boat. The stern boat, if there even was one, may have capsized off nearby Santa MarÃa island even though no anecdotes or documents record the rescue of survivors or the retrieval of boat debris or of washed-up bodies. No investigation ever was made of casualties or of remains washing up along European Coastlines even though five bodies lashed to two rafts under a United States flag were reported off northern Spain in 1873, location and time consistent with a date and a destination for survivors at the mercy of currents, waves and winds from the suspected abandonment site.
