The Mary Celeste

The beautiful Mary Celeste ship was found floating aimlessly in the Atlantic Ocean in the month of December in the year of 1872. When the ship was discovered, everything appeared to be in order – despite the fact that the Captain and his crew were not found. The cargo appeared to be untouched. The ship showed no visible signs of distress. As a matter of fact, the only thing that appeared to be in disarray was a sail that was a bit tattered. The large cargo ship floated across the Atlantic Ocean now a ghost ship. However, no explanation on the state of the Mary Celeste was ever concluded. -Greatest Unsolved Mysteries
