Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs with daughter Sophia and wife Sarah, Andrew Gilling as second mate, Edward William Head as cook and steward, and Albert Richardson as first mate, along with Gottlieb Gondeschall, Boz Lorenzen, Volkert Lorenzen, and Arian Martens as seamen are the names of the missing people from the half brig Mary Celeste. The question of the Mary Celeste 10 refers to the unsolved, world-famous incident between November 1872 and December 1872 when all ten people aboard the part barkentine part schooner in question disappeared without a trace despite equipment, personal possessions and volatile cargo left on board. It remains unsolved because the Gibraltar Admiralty Court devoted physical and temporal resources to criticizing the rescue party from Captain David Reed Morehouse's Dei Gratia, and to thereby taking most of the salvage award, instead of sponsoring searches of the area between the Azores and Portugal where the Mary Celeste 10 may have gone missing.
