Nobody knows what happened to the crew of the ship Mary Celeste. The crew from Dei Gratia reported during admiralty court proceedings in Gibraltar regarding salvaging the half brig in question that the Mary Celeste 10 -- the captain with his daughter and wife as well as the cook/steward, the first mate, the second mate, and the four seamen -- were nowhere to be seen even though the cargo was intact and personal possessions were left behind. Possible explanations for the mysterious disappearance of everyone on board tend to center upon drowning accidentally in a lifeboat or deliberately by pirates.

No, there were no survivors on the ship Mary Celeste. No one knows what happened to them except that they just disappeared.


What is the 'Mary Celeste' incident?

Abandonment and grounding can be considered answers to any questions about the Mary Celeste incident. The abandonment happened in 1872 while the grounding occurred in 1885. Both incidents jumpstarted legal proceedings that ended in unjustified criticism of the Dei Gratia and Mary Celeste crews in the first case and in sudden termination in the second.


Was the 'Mary Celeste' mystery ever solved?

The mystery of the 'Mary Celeste' has never been definitively solved. The ship was found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872 with no crew on board, leading to various theories about what happened, including piracy, mutiny, and natural disasters. However, no conclusive evidence has been found to explain the disappearance of the crew.


Why is 'Mary Celeste' a mystery?

The fact that nobody knows what happened to the Mary Celeste 10 in 1872 is a reason why Mary Celeste is a mystery. The mystery of the disappearance of the captain with his daughter and wife as well as of all of his crew and officers remains the greatest maritime enigma of all time. No one scenario yet tends to fit even though suggestions of mutiny, piracy, seaquakes and water spouts have been offered.


Was there any god on 'Mary Celeste'?

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.

Was any of the 'Mary Celeste' crew drunk?

It is not known whether any of Mary Celeste's crew drank. Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs was not known to drink or tolerate drinking. The hermaphrodite brig in question was transporting 1,701 barrels of industrial alcohol, which is undrinkable and volatile.


Why did the crew abandon 'Mary Celeste'?

Nobody knows why the crew abandoned the half brig Mary Celeste. Gibraltar's Admiralty Court left a judgment of responsibility on the captains and crew of Mary Celeste and of Dei Gratia, the hermaphrodite brig's savior from days of yawing between the Azores and Portugal. Twentieth and twenty-first-century reconstructions range from accidental drowning of the Mary Celeste 10 (of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen) -- in an overloaded, rickety lifeboat because of a ship endangered by explosions, fumes, seaquakes or water spouts -- to disappearance by conspiracy or fraud and murder by pirates.


Where was 'Mary Celeste' going?

The ship Mary Celeste was going east.
