It is not known whether or not there were pirates on the half brig Mary Celeste.

But little other than some documentation was known to have been missing from the part barkentine part schooner -- whose load of cargo, equipment and personal possessions otherwise was left intact -- so piracy would have occurred for abducting or massacring the Mary Celeste 10 and stealing items not admitted by owner James Winchester to have been on board Mary Celeste.
