The corpses of two captains are the only dead bodies known to have been on Mary Celeste. Captain Robert McLellan caught cold and died of pneumonia the first week of the first voyage of Mary Celeste, under the half brig's original name Amazon, in June 1862. Captain Edgar M. Tuthill died while the hermaphrodite brig was returning from Calcutta, India, with the death prompting the sale of Mary Celeste by David Cartwright, owner from 1874 to 1880, to Wesley Gove, owner with four shareholders until the part barkentine part schooner's shipwreck in 1885.
