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.

No, the people aboard Mary Celeste during the half brig's accidental or deliberate abandonment never have been found.

The families of those aboard the hermaphrodite brig in question never spoke of hearing from, knowing about or seeing the Mary Celeste Ten ever again.


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.

Where are the people from 'Mary Celeste'?

Nobody knows the location of the people aboard the abandoned, derelict, ghost, mystery ship Mary Celeste. Nobody connected with the Mary Celeste 10 ever let on about being in contact with, or knowing the whereabouts of, the captain or his bride, daughter, three officers and four seamen. All ten seem to have cared about the close familial and friendly circles that sustained them so it seems unlikely that any one of them would have survived and not tried to contact those near and dear, such as the captain's brother, mother and son.


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.
