It is unknown how the crew of the half brig Mary Celestedisappeared. The disappearance of the Mary Celeste 10 refers to the accidental or deliberate abandonment of the hermaphrodite brig in question by the captain with his daughter and his wife, three officers and four seamen. The last log entry reveals a date of Wednesday, November 25, 1872, but without any mention of problems such as barratry,explosions or fumes from a volatile load of raw industrial alcohol, mutiny, piracy, seaquakes, water leaks or waterspouts that would trigger leaving cargo, equipment and personal possessions behind.

Was there any god on 'Mary Celeste'?
