What was the secret of Mary Celeste Sea?
The sea holds many secrets, perhaps no more incomprehensible and permanent than the inexplicable disappearance of the crew of two hundred tons of Brigantine, Mary Celeste. The ship was found hovering in the middle of the Sargasso Sea, about 500 miles (805 kilometers) east of the Azores in December 1872. Many stories and theories absent about the fate of Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife and their infant daughters.
No one will ever know what really happened on Mary Celeste, but it is known that Mary Celeste began her life as Amazon in 1861. After the disaster series, it was modified in 1869 and renamed Mary Celeste. Three years later, in October 1872, Benjamin Briggs became the new captain of Mary Celeste and the owner of the part, which was the fashion of times.
Briggs was an experienced sailor and a man from a seafood. Mary Celeste left Pier 50 at the port of New York 5. November 1872, tied to Genoa with a load of alcohol. The ship was not visible again until December 5, when Captain David Morehouse of Schooner, Dei Gratia,A ship similar to Mary Celeste, saw her floating abandoned in the middle of the ocean. In the ironic reversal of Morehouse, he knew that Briggs and both of them even talked on the eve of Brigg's departure to Oblivion aboard Mary Celeste.
Everything about the abandoned ship suggested the evacuation of a great hurry. Chronometer and sextant were missing, but the protocol was found with the last entrance of November 24. Imprint of the child's outline on the bed and the unfinished meal in the cabin table supports the theory of rapid departure. The long boats were crushed on their Davits and the open bottle of the coughing cough stood upright on the narrow shelf. A partial explanation may consist in the cargo carried by Mary Celeste.
raw alcohol was high -alcoholic and flammable. One of the bottles aboard Mary Celeste was open and it is possible that Briggs suddenly left the ship because of fear of the explosion. The cargo could be wrapped, which is commonly associated with raw alcohol. If so,Was the problem with Towrope connecting with Mary Celeste? Somehow it came and Briggs went for it, was hoping to catch up with an unmanned ship? Or did the giant tidal wave swallowed a small life ship and all its passengers?
The story of Mary Celeste and her unfortunate crew remains a mystery as deep and impenetrable as the sea itself.
