It is unknown whether any of the alcohol aboard Mary Celeste was drunk by the crew. But it tends to look as unlikely that crewmen would have brought their own alcohol aboard the hermaphrodite brig in question since Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs was known to be hard-working, honest, and intolerant of drunkenness and recklessness. The cargo was a load of 1,701 barrels filled with undrinkable industrial alcohol, whose volatility may have been evidenced in nine of the barrels being empty, possibly from below-deck explosions.
