Captain David Reed Morehouse and First Mate Oliver Deveau of the cargo ship Dei Gratia in 1872 and author Clive Cussler and professional divers John Davis and Mike Fletcher in 2001 are the discoverers of the half brig Mary Celeste. In the first case, the discovery of the hermaphrodite brig yawing halfway between the Azores and Portugal was accidental since nobody admits to having known that the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen had become separated, unwillingly or willingly, from their ship loaded with cargo, equipment and personal possessions. In the second case, the discovery was the result of a deliberate search of Haiti's Rochelais Reef, where the part barkentine part schooner was alleged to have been shipwrecked deliberately in 1885.
