Amazon is the original name of the ship Mary Celeste. Joshua Dewes, as shipbuilder and shipowner on Spencer's Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, launched the hermaphrodite brig in question under the name Amazon in May 1861. The second name succeeded the first with the ship's purchase by Richard W. Haines in November 1868.
