Dei Gratia is the name of the ship whose captain and crew discovered the half brig Mary Celeste drift in the Atlantic Ocean. It turned out that the captains of the two ships knew each other, were following similar Atlantic to Mediterranean shipping routes from New York and were planning to meet after delivering their respective cargoes in Italy in December 1872. It was for the above-mentioned reasons that those on board Dei Gratia("Thanks to God") recognized the yawing ship with tattered sails as the hermaphrodite brig Mary Celeste.

What is the 'Mary Celeste' incident?

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.


Who discovered 'Mary Celeste'?

Captain David Reed Morehouse and First Mate Oliver Deveau of the cargo ship Dei Gratia in 1872 and author Clive Cussler and professional divers John Davis and Mike Fletcher in 2001 are the discoverers of the half brig Mary Celeste. In the first case, the discovery of the hermaphrodite brig yawing halfway between the Azores and Portugal was accidental since nobody admits to having known that the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen had become separated, unwillingly or willingly, from their ship loaded with cargo, equipment and personal possessions. In the second case, the discovery was the result of a deliberate search of Haiti's Rochelais Reef, where the part barkentine part schooner was alleged to have been shipwrecked deliberately in 1885.


What does the name 'Mary Celeste' mean?

"Heavenly bitterness" is a possible meaning of the name "Mary Celeste." The feminine proper name "Mary" possibly originates in the Hebrew מרים for "bitterness." The feminine proper name "Celeste" traces its origins back to the Latin caelestis for "heavenly."

However, no conclusive evidence has been found to explain the disappearance of the crew.


Why is 'Mary Celeste' a mystery?

The fact that nobody knows what happened to the Mary Celeste 10 in 1872 is a reason why Mary Celeste is a mystery. The mystery of the disappearance of the captain with his daughter and wife as well as of all of his crew and officers remains the greatest maritime enigma of all time. No one scenario yet tends to fit even though suggestions of mutiny, piracy, seaquakes and water spouts have been offered.
