Damage to the hull and failure to implement timely rescue and retrieval operations are reasons why the half brig Mary Celeste sank. The above-mentioned hermaphrodite brig's hull was damaged through purportedly intentional grounding at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3 (civilian reckoning, from midnight to midnight) or Sunday, Jan. 4 (nautical reckoning, from noon to noon), 1885, off the Caribbean Sea's Rochelais Reef. Evidence was gathered for court proceedings -- that terminated with Captain Gilman C. Parker's untimely death -- even though nothing was done to claim, move or repair Mary Celeste.
