Ghost ships and nineteenth-century occurrences are the connections between Dracula and Mary Celeste. The first-mentioned item references a novel by Bram Stoker (November 8, 1847 - April 20, 1912) and tells the story of the Russian ship Demeter running aground on Whitby with all crew missing except a captain lashed to the steering wheel. The second-mentioned object refers to a famous, real cargo ship that was found yawing, with contracted cargo and personal possessions aboard but without any captain or crew of passengers, halfway between the Azores and Portugal.
