A check for survivors as part of salvage in 1872 and an inspection as part of legal proceedings in 1873 are reasons why there were boarding parties on the half brig Mary Celeste. In the first instance, David Reed Morehouse, captain of Dei Gratia, deemed it necessary to make sure that it was safe to sail the hermaphrodite brig from where it was yawing off Portugal to the Mediterranean port city of Gibraltar. In the second instance, the Admiralty Court needed to examine the part barkentine part schooner before approving or disapproving the salvage award.
