Best Answer

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 evidence reveals any conspiracy by any of the Mary Celeste 10 even though the Gibraltar court proceedings officials claimed most of the salvage away in 1873 by demonizing the captain and crew of the victim ship Mary Celeste and of the rescue ship Dei Gratia.
