Mary Celeste
The ship Mary Celeste was going east.
Yes, the ship Mary Celeste reached Gibraltar.
Mary Celeste was a British ship built in Canada during the British ownership of the US and Canada. Mary is the name of the daughter of the man who built the ship. Celeste is Spanish roughly meaning "heavenly beauty".
The ship Mary Celeste was found floating in the eastern Atlantic Ocean halfway between the Azores and Portugal, more or less on a course past southern Portugal and Spain, toward Gibraltar.
Dei Gratia is the name of the ship that found Mary Celeste. The respective captains of the two ships, Captain David Reed Morehouse and Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs, knew one another. They met for dinner just before Mary Celeste's scheduled departure on Tuesday, November 5, 1872, from New York's East River Pier 50 and planned to meet again since the destination of both ships was Italy.
The ship Mary Celeste was built on Spencer's Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1861.
No, there were no survivors on the ship Mary Celeste. No one knows what happened to them except that they just disappeared.
The Mary Celeste.
Yes, the Mary Celeste was found with its anchor on board, but it was not dropped or in use. The ship was discovered adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872, fully seaworthy and with its cargo intact, yet the crew was mysteriously missing. The presence of the anchor suggests that the ship was not in immediate distress prior to abandonment.
Sometime after Friday, Nov. 14, 1873 is the date when the fictitious Marie Celeste was found. The imaginary brigantine in question surfaces as the setting for maritime crimes and mysteries in the short story J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement. The fictionalized account tells readers of the first paragraph that Captain Dalton's Dei Gratia towed the derelict ship Marie Celeste from latitude 38 degrees 40' North, longitude 17 degrees, 15' West into the Mediterranean Sea port of Gibraltar in December 1873.
