Contracted delivery of cargo is the reason why the half brig Mary Celeste was headed for Italy. The reference relates to a cargo of 1,701 barrels of raw industrial alcohol to be delivered for Meissner, Ackersman, and Company to recipients in Genoa, Italy. The delivery was intended to take place within a month of the hermaphrodite brig's departure from New York on Tuesday, November 5, 1872.
