The name of the world's most famous ship and of the world's most famous woman is the identity of Mary Celeste. The feminine proper name in question, whose meaning is "Heavenly Mary," references Our Lady Mary, the most influential woman in Christianity. It also refers to the part barkentine part schooner whose dereliction in the eastern Atlantic waters halfway between the Azores and Portugal constitutes the greatest maritime mystery of all time because of the disappearance of the Mary Celeste 10, that is, the captain with two family members, three officers and four seamen, in 1872.
