What was The Mary Celeste Sea Mystery?
The sea holds many mysteries, perhaps none more baffling and enduring than the inexplicable disappearance of the crew of the two hundred ton brigantine, the Mary Celeste. The ship was found floating in the middle of the Sargasso Sea, some 500 miles (805 kilometers) east of the Azores in December of 1872. Many stories and theories abound about the fate of Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife and their infant daughter.
