The Mediterranean port city of Genoa, Italy, is the destination to which Mary Celeste was heading during the hermaphrodite brig's cargo-contracted voyage of November and December 1872. The destination required using shipping lanes southeastward to the Azores and eastward through the Mediterranean. Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs selected the less frequent route just north of the Azores' Coastlines instead of the much more traveled southern coast-hugging route.
