Best Answer

Sometime after 1885 is the date when the ship Mary Celeste sank. Crewmen submitted statements alleging that the hermaphrodite brig deliberately was rammed into the Rochelais Reef off Haiti on Saturday, January 3 (civilian time, from midnight to midnight) or Sunday, January 4 (nautical time, from noon to noon), 1885, by the part barkentine part schooner's last known captain, Gilman C. Parker. Author Clive Cussler and professional divers Mike Fletcher and John Davis were credited with finding metal and wood remains -- in the above-indicated position and consistent with the place and time of Mary Celeste's construction in 1860 and 1861 in Nova Scotia, Canada, -- on Thursday, April 5, 2001.
