Originally built in Nova Scotia and named the Amazon in 1861, this ghost ship was
re-named the Mary Celeste in 1869 after numerous misfortunes and owners. One might say
the Mary Celeste was cursed from the beginning. On its last voyage, the Mary Celeste left
New York City in November of 1872, carrying methanol and ten people as it headed for
Genoa, Italy. Two of the ten aboard were passengers.
In December of 1872, the Mary Celeste was found drifting off of the coast of Portugal - solid
and with cargo. None of the crew or passengers were ever found. The ship appeared
deliberately abandoned, as its life boat had been launched. Mysterious blood stains were
found on three railings, and a blood stained sword was also found hidden under the
Captain's bed.
There has been much speculation as to what happened aboard the Mary Celeste, but no
one knows for sure.
