If motions are "coupled" than they are not independent, they happen together at the same time. Roll is turning around the axis you are heading in. (Think of an airplane that rolls to tip one wing down and the other up).
Yaw is rotation around an axis going from down below to up above. (Think of a battle tank making a turn in place (driving one track forward, the other backward).
If rolling and yawing are coupled than the vehicle will both roll and yaw at the same time.

What is the connection between Dracula and 'Mary Celeste'?

Ghost ships and nineteenth-century occurrences are the connections between Dracula and Mary Celeste. The first-mentioned item references a novel by Bram Stoker (November 8, 1847 - April 20, 1912) and tells the story of the Russian ship Demeter running aground on Whitby with all crew missing except a captain lashed to the steering wheel. The second-mentioned object refers to a famous, real cargo ship that was found yawing, with contracted cargo and personal possessions aboard but without any captain or crew of passengers, halfway between the Azores and Portugal.


Why is 'Mary Celeste' an interesting mystery?

That the half brig in question is the apparently unsolvable source of one of the world's greatest peacetime mysteries in maritime history is a reason why Mary Celeste is an interesting mystery. The rationale for abandoning the hermaphrodite brig, with cargo and possessions intact, offers no cooperation with any explanation for unmanned yawing between the Azores and Portugal in 1872. Explanations range from mutiny to piracy, seaquakes, volatility of the cargo of industrial alcohol or water spouts forcing the Mary Celeste 10 to abandon ship for a rickety lifeboat that owner James Winchester had promised to replace and supplement but did not do so and that surely must have sunk, without surface traces, far from help, land and notice.


Was there a cat on 'Mary Celeste'?

No, no cat is known to have been aboard Mary Celeste. The captain and the crew of Dei Gratia mentioned finding no life form upon boarding, and sailing to Gibraltar, the half brig found yawing halfway between the Azores and Portugal in December 1872. Inspections conducted by the crew of Dei Gratia and subsequently ordered by Gibraltar's Admiralty Court revealed evidence of human occupation -- through abandoned personal possessions and such physical traces as the imprint of Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs' two-year-old daughter Sophia's body on a bed's blankets -- but not of animal presences.


Was 'Mary Celeste' named after a real person?

Yes, the half brig Mary Celeste is named after a real person. The hermaphrodite brig's name means "Celestial Mary" or "Heavenly Mary" in reference of Our Lady Mary, whom National Geographic Magazine calls "the most powerful woman in the world" in its December 2015 issue. It was common during -- and before -- the cargo-carrying career of the part barkentine part schooner in question, from 1861 to 1885, to incorporate religious references in ship names, such as Dei Gratia ("Thanks to God"), the name of the ship whose captain and crew first saw Mary Celeste yawing, mysteriously and without anyone aboard, between the Azores and Portugal in December 1872.
