Abandonment and grounding can be considered answers to any questions about the Mary Celeste incident. The abandonment happened in 1872 while the grounding occurred in 1885. Both incidents jumpstarted legal proceedings that ended in unjustified criticism of the Dei Gratia and Mary Celeste crews in the first case and in sudden termination in the second.

Was there any god on 'Mary Celeste'?

It is unknown whether there was any god in the sense of an icon on Mary Celeste. Nobody knows the religious convictions of the Mary Celeste Ten since there is no readily accessible indication of whether the captain, crew, and passengers were non-practicing or practicing believers. But Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs was the direct-line descendant of God-fearing, hard-working fishing people from Massachusetts, where fishing families, such as those of Gloucester, still believe that God and Our Lady Mary are always present in perfect storms and weathers.
