Never and nowhere are the "when" and "where" regarding finding the crew members of the half brig Mary Celeste. Everyone known to have been aboard the hermaphrodite brig in question as of Tuesday, November 5, 1872, is considered as having disappeared without a trace. Captain David Williams, who understands the direction and flow of currents between the Azores, Portugal and Spain, suggests, in his online article "Mary Celeste Was Abandoned during a Seaquake," that some of those aboard the part barkentine part schooner may have accounted for never identified bodies found tied to a plank off Spain in early 1873.
