No, the crew of the half brig Mary Celeste never was found, and their families never were known to have been contacted directly or indirectly by survivors. The captain's son, Arthur, was left behind to attend school and therefore grew up an orphan. The captain's brother Oliver was planning to meet Benjamin in Italy in December 1872 and retire from seafaring after returning to New York. But his ship, Julia A. Hallock, was sunk on the lonely return voyage to New York on Wednesday, January 8, 1873, when the vessel's volatile load of oil exploded in the Bay of Biscay off Spain, where Oliver died four days later, two hours before rescuers arrived in search of survivors.

What is the maximum number of people who will crew the International Space Station?
Normally, the station has a crew of 6 people, or 3 in between crew rotations. The most people that have ever been aboard the ISS was 10, when the 7-man crew of STS-119 (Space Shuttle Discovery) was docked with the ISS, which had a crew of 3 aboard. Now that the huge Space Shuttle is discontinued, a maximum crew size of 6-8 aboard the ISS is more realistic.
Who were the astronauts that first went to the moon?
The first ever humans to see the moon up close and personal was the crew of Apollo 8 (Borman, Lovell and Anders). However they did not land on the moon, they were simply in orbit around it. The first Crew to ever land on the moon was the Crew of Apollo 11. Armstrong and Aldrin were the lucky ones to make history and walk on the moon, while Collins became the first human to orbit the moon alone.

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.

Where did the crew and the Briggs family go missing on the Mary Celeste?
On December 4, 1872, the Mary Celeste was discovered by the crew of the Brig Dei Gratia , some 600 miles west of Portugal. The ship was sailing without captain, crew, or captain's family. The last entry in the ship's log was dated November 24, 1872 locating the ship about six miles off Saint Mary's Island in the Azores. The only lifeboat on the Mary Celeste, a yawl located above the main hatch, was missing. The peak halyard, used to hoist the main sail, had disappeared. A rope, perhaps the peak halyard, was found tied to the ship very strongly and the other end, very frayed, was trailing in the water behind the ship. No one knows what happened to the people aboard the Mary Celeste as their remains were never recovered nor did they ever turn up alive. Whatever occurred is still the largest nautical mystery in the history of sea travel.
Did 'Mary Celeste' ever go near the seven seas?
Yes, the merchant ship Mary Celeste sailed near the seven seas. The term seven seas serves as a reference to all of the navigable parts of the globes. The cargo-heavy, crew-light ship in question was known to have sailed off Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe but not off Antarctica or the Arctic Circle or over the Pacific Ocean.
Were there any people or ships nearby where 'Mary Celeste' was found?
Dei Gratia is the only ship known to have been nearby where Mary Celeste was found on Wednesday, December 4 (nautical reckoning) or Thursday, December 5 (standard reckoning), 1872. Dei Gratia left New York after Mary Celeste, and Captains Benjamin Spooner Briggs of the latter and David Reed Morehouse of the former were planning to meet in Italy after delivering their respective cargoes. Nobody other than Dei Gratia's captain and crew ever offered any indication of contacting, crossing or sighting the half brig in question between departure from Staten Island on Thursday, November 7, 1872, and yawing off Portugal on Wednesday, December 4 or Thursday, December 5, 1872.
Where was 'Mary Celeste' discovered?
The Rochelais Reef off Haiti is the place where Mary Celeste was discovered. Mary Celeste represents the only ship ever sought by marine archaeologist Clive Cussler to be exactly where indications suggested that it should be. The half brig in question and Christopher Columbus's (August 26-October 30, 1451 - May 20, 1506) flag ship, Santa María, were the only ships known to have gone down off Hispaniola.
Were the bodies of the crew of Columbia ever found?
Yes, remains from all seven crew were recovered and returned to their families for burial.
Where are the people from 'Mary Celeste'?
Nobody knows the location of the people aboard the abandoned, derelict, ghost, mystery ship Mary Celeste. Nobody connected with the Mary Celeste 10 ever let on about being in contact with, or knowing the whereabouts of, the captain or his bride, daughter, three officers and four seamen. All ten seem to have cared about the close familial and friendly circles that sustained them so it seems unlikely that any one of them would have survived and not tried to contact those near and dear, such as the captain's brother, mother and son.

Was anything stolen on 'Mary Celeste'?
Nothing stolen ever is described among the known contents of the abandoned, derelict, ghost, mystery ship Mary Celeste. Certain objects and ship parts looked suspicious -- but not because their presence may have indicated previous thefts -- to the landing and sailing party from Captain David Morehouse's Dei Gratiaand to the official inspectors of the subsequent Gibraltar court proceedings. Other objects -- such as the captain's papers, the chronometer, the lifeboat and the sextant -- were missing but most likely not stolen, but taken for legitimate use, by the Mary Celeste 10.
Did the Challenger crew land in the ocean and were they ever found?
The crew compartment was separated from the rest of the shuttle soon after the fuel tank ruptured. It crashed into the ocean with a force of 200g's, and this is thought to have killed the crew, although they were probably unconscious at the time. The cabin was found relatively intact, although damaged, along with the bodies of the crew.
Did they ever find the bodies from the challenger disaster?
Yes, the cabin they were in when they fell into the sea was found six weeks after the disaster. Remains of the crew were found but were decomposed and partly eaten by fish and other sea life. It could not be determined whether the remains were of all Severn crew members or only part of the crew.
