Why was Mary Celeste abandoned?

We simply don't know for sure. The most plausible theory is: part of the ship's payload was combustible. It is very possible that circumstances had occurred that had increased the risk of an explosion; and that the captain decided to ventilate the ship's hold: the hatches were found open. The captain then might for safety's sake in the meantime have everybody board a sloop, tied to the ship with a long rope. If the rope would have slipped, there would have been no way to row back to the ship, since it had been left partly under sail and so was much faster than any sloop could row. The sloop would then drift off to anywhere, and lack of food and especially of drink would finish off the crew in a matter of days.

Who is david farragut and what did he do in the civil war?

He was famous because he said "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" when his ship entered into a mine field near Mobile during the civil war. He was a captain in the newly established continental navy. At that time they called mines torpedoes. The nearest thing they had to a torpedo like we use today was a mine strapped to a long pole on the front of a small boat. The boaters would row to the ship and bail over the side just before the mine blew up.

If you had a cramped ship, which you had to row, and didn't need your shield while you were rowing, wouldn't hanging it over the side of the ship make sense. It probably offered the person sitting inside it some shelter from spray and wind.
