South from New York toward the Azores, with scheduled moves eastward into the Mediterranean for docking in Genoa, Italy is the route that the half brig Mary Celeste took in 1872. Benjamin Spooner Briggs, captain at the time and experienced descendant of generations of fishers and sailors, took an unexpected turn whereby the hermaphrodite brig rounded the Azores from the north instead of the south. It was sometime during or subsequent to rounding the easternmost tip of that course that everyone on board disappeared, leaving behind cargo, equipment and possessions.
