A barkentine is another term for a barquentine - a sailing vessel similar to a barque but fore-and-after rigged on the mainmast.
Boxwood Barkentine was born in 1920-07.

Design is a peculiarity of Mary Celeste. The ship straddled two sailing styles in order to maximize cargo carrying capacity and to minimize crew space. It was called a half or hermaphrodite brig for juggling elements of a barkentine and of a schooner.
Half-brig and hermaphrodite brig are the terms used to describe the kind of ship that Mary Celeste was. The nineteenth-century vessel in question represents a merger in the transition period between the prominence of barkentines and of schooners. It therefore tends to be described as a half or hermaphrodite brig that is part barkentine and part schooner.
No, the half brig Mary Celeste is not fake. Depictions, descriptions and documents prove the serviceability of the hermaphrodite brig in question between 1861 and 1885. Court records verify that the part barkentine part schooner was left to drift for unknown reasons in November and December 1872 and to sink into the waters off Haiti in 1885.
New York and Nova Scotia are the places where the half brig Mary Celeste tended to be harbored. New York is the harbor for the hermaphrodite brig in question under the U.S.A.-registered name Mary Celeste. Nova Scotia is the harbor for the part barkentine part schooner under the original, Canada-registered name 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
