No, there was no gold on Mary Celeste. The hermaphrodite brig in question was carrying a load of 1,701 barrels of alcohol at the time of its most famous voyage, in 1872. It was not known, either before or after 1872, for hauling precious metals since its owners tended toward such heavy loads as lumber.

It is unknown whether there was any god in the sense of an icon on Mary Celeste.
