Nobody knows what happened to the people aboard Mary Celeste. The Mary Celeste 10 left their personal possessions -- such as the captain's wife's sewing machine and the seamen's foul weather gear and smoking pipes -- on board along with a cargo intact other than 9 empty barrels of raw industrial alcohol destined for delivery in Genoa, Italy. The frayed ends of a trailing, worn halyard may indicate severance during stormy weather from a life boat accommodating the captain and his daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen while Mary Celeste was being aired from cargo fumes, cooled from cargo explosions, emptied of excess water or searched by pirates.
