Half-brig and hermaphrodite brig are the terms used to describe the kind of ship that Mary Celeste was. The nineteenth-century vessel in question represents a merger in the transition period between the prominence of barkentines and of schooners. It therefore tends to be described as a half or hermaphrodite brig that is part barkentine and part schooner.
