Did 'Mary Celeste' disappear in the Amazon?

No, Mary Celeste did not disappear in the Amazon. The hermaphrodite brig in question was known to have traveled off the coasts of, but not within, South America. The part-barkentine part-schooner in question instead was rammed into the Rochelais Reef off Haiti, where it sank beneath the surface under the load of an artificial, shanty-laden, shell-built isle.


What did 'Mary Celeste' carry?

Industrial alcohol is the load that the half brig Mary Celeste was carrying at the time of the hermaphrodite brig's accidental or deliberate abandonment in November or December 1872. The part barkentine part schooner's first load, under the ship's original name of Amazon, in 1861, was lumber. Its last load, in 1885, was a mix of such cargo as fish and footwear.


Why did the Mary Celeste 10 go on the lifeboat?

Imminent explosion and impending sinking are reasons why the Mary Celeste 10 may have gone on a lifeboat. Opened portholes indicate that the half brig Mary Celeste may have been invaded by noxious fumes from the cargo of crude, industrial, raw alcohol. Standing water suggests that the part barkentine part schooner was taking on water.

Where is 'Mary Celeste'?

The northeastern Caribbean Sea is the location of the half brig Mary Celeste. The above-mentioned hermaphrodite brig was described as sinking in the Rochelais Reef off the Caribbean island of Haiti. Its remains, under an artificial, conch shell-built, shanty-laden island, were found -- in the exact place where it was suspected to have sunk -- 116 years after the part barkentine part schooner's sinking in 1885.


Who founded 'Mary Celeste'?

Oliver Deveau in 1872 and Mike Fletcher in 2002 are the names of people who found Mary Celeste. In the first instance, the first mate of the ship Dei Gratia was the first to notice the hermaphrodite brig Mary Celeste yawing in the eastern Atlantic Ocean between the Azores and Portugal. In the second instance, the diver was the person who helped author Clive Cussler and fellow diver John Davis to establish that the part barkentine part schooner most likely was supporting a shanty-bearing, shell-built island in the Rochelais Reef off Haiti.


What barrels were on 'Mary Celeste'?

Containers filled with raw industrial alcohol are the type of barrels that were on the hermaphrodite brig Mary Celeste. The part barkentine part schooner in question tended to carry as cargo crops and timber. It was therefore unusual that the plucky half brig was expected to transport such a volatile cargo, during such stormy weather as was typical of the northern Atlantic's wintry seascape, all the way from New York to Genoa, Italy.
