Best Answer

It is unknown whether there was any god in the sense of an icon on Mary Celeste. Nobody knows the religious convictions of the Mary Celeste Ten since there is no readily accessible indication of whether the captain, crew, and passengers were non-practicing or practicing believers. But Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs was the direct-line descendant of God-fearing, hard-working fishing people from Massachusetts, where fishing families, such as those of Gloucester, still believe that God and Our Lady Mary are always present in perfect storms and weathers.

Assuming you mean gold not god, the Mary Celeste was not a treasure vesslel. There was no more gold or other precious metals than any other commercial vessel - just personal coins and jewelry.
