One of the most famous maritime mysteries, the Mary Celeste is widely known as a "ghost ship".

On November 7, 1872, the 282-ton brigantine Mary Celeste set sail from New York Harbor on its way to Genoa, Italy. On board were the ship’s captain, Benjamin S. Briggs, his wife, Sarah, and their 2-year-old daughter, Sophia, along with eight crewmembers. Less than a month later, on December 5, a passing British ship called Dei Gratia spotted the Mary Celeste at full sail and adrift about 400 miles east of the Azores, with no sign of the captain, his family or any of the crew. Beside having several feet of water in the hold and a missing lifeboat, the ship was undamaged and loaded with six months’ worth of food and water.

The ship that found her, the Dei Gratia, was later accused of potential piracy at the salvage hearings. However, no evidence was ever produced to support this theory. To this day, there are many theories but no proof of what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste.
