Oliver Deveau is the name of the person who first noticed the derelict, ghost, mystery ship Mary Celeste. He was the first mate of the brigantine Dei Gratia, whose captain, David Morehouse, was familiar with the half brig in question and friendly with the hermaphrodite brig's captain and part-owner, Benjamin Spooner Briggs. He wondered why the part barkentine part schooner was pursuing such a contradictory course halfway between the Azores and Portugal Wednesday, Dec. 4 (civilian time, as 24 hours from midnight to midnight) or Thursday, Dec. 5 (nautical time, as 24 hours from noon to noon), 1872.
