The years 1872 and 2001 are the dates that the half brig Mary Celeste was discovered. In the first case, the discovery was accidental since the captain and the crew of Dei Gratia had left New York after the hermaphrodite brig Mary Celeste's departure so nobody apparently had any idea that within a month the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen would go missing while leaving behind cargo, equipment and possessions on a therefore derelict, yawing ship.
In the second instance, the discovery was deliberate since marine archaeologist Clive Cussler and professional divers John Davis and Mike Fletcher knew that the part barkentine part schooner had been shipwrecked in 1885 and assiduously searched the Rochelais Reef off Haiti for Mary Celeste's remains.
