The most mysterious mystery Maritime – The Marie Celeste

The Marie Celeste, (in fact, real name was Mary Celeste), is the biggest mystery sea of all time. It was built in 1861 by Joshua Dewis in Nova Scotia, Canada, and was initially named the Amazon. The Amazon was pretty dire, his first captain died of pneumonia within a week to take charge instead was beaten a fishing boat, forcing the ship to return to the shipyard for repairs which subsequently caught fire, in its first transatlantic crossing once again collided with another vessel. In 1867, ran aground during a storm in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, was the final straw, its owners, sick and tired of is awkward sold it to James H. Winchester New York, which re-name Mary Celeste. On November 5, 1872, the ship sailed from Staten Island, New York for Genoa, Italy under the command of Captain Benjamin Briggs. She carried a cargo of seventeen hundred barrels of commercial alcohol, for the fortification of Italian wines Genoa, was expensive with a current population of over half assessment billion. The souls aboard the Mary Celeste including the captain and seven crew, the captain's wife Sarah and their two year old daughter, Sophia Matilda. The whole crew was very experienced, reliable, capable and competent seriously, but it sailed away the hustle and bustle of New York, was the last time any of the ten were seen again, alive or dead.

Another ship, Dei Gratia, captained by a friend of Captain Briggs of the Marie Celeste sailed from Staten Island, New York, a week later and was following a path similar to the Marie Celeste across the ocean Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean. On December 4, 1861, the Dei Gratia hundred miles west of the coast of Portugal, when the pilot spotted a boat about five miles off the port bow. The helmsman realized that the ship was swaying slightly and that the candles were scattered and torn. The captain turned his ship Dei Gratia developing within four hundred meters of the Marie Celeste, where watched for two hours, was under full sail, After an erratic starboard tack, but he was flying without danger signals. The mate of the Dei Gratia, Oliver Deveau led a party in a small boat on board Mary Celeste. What the party discovered was quite surprising, there was plenty of water between decks and almost four feet of water in the cellar, but there was no fear of sinking the ship and was still seaworthy. However, there was no one on board, everyone had simply vanished, the only lifeboat, a yawl seemed to be intentionally started. What made the empty vessel even more extraordinary was the fact that everything in the boat was in its rightful place and there were no signs of a hurried departure.

On closer inspection, the event became even more extravagant: all papers the ship except the captain's logbook were missing, the clock was not working and that the compass was broken, in addition, sextant and the marine chronometer missing. To compound the mystery – there was no attempt to be to weigh the anchor, roll the canvas or tie the steering wheel – all contributing the wild drifting vessel. Mysteriously, the peak halyard, used to hoist the mainsail, was found tied to the ship, with the other end, terribly worn by back in the water behind. Deveau party to inspect the ship's cargo, they found it completely intact, however, when it was finally landed in Genoa, nine barrels were empty, but there was no evidence of a leak. Furthermore, without protective clothing or shelter from the rain had to be removed from the ship in the boat, nor had six months none of the provisions of food and water clean and fresh. Initial solutions offered, the thought that the Marie Celeste was the victim of an assault on piracy but the charge had not been touched or crew have had personal items of value, making this type of attack seems highly unlikely. On closer inspection of the ship, things were discovered indicating that the ship had been abandoned in a hurry, such as a disorder disorder in the captain's cabin and calculations unfinished the room on the second board. Unfortunately, the master record only adds to the puzzle that made no mention of any bad weather or unforeseen events, the last entry was dated November 24 and set a hundred miles west of the Azores. In addition to the master record, slate showed that the Marie Celeste had come to the island Santa Maria in the Azores on the morning of November 25.

So the Marie Celeste was in good shape and able to navigate, however, the crew had left in haste, but no sign of a piracy attack, a riot or any kind of struggle nor severe weather was reported. None of the crew or passengers were ever found, it was a sloop. The mysterious ship was sailed to Gibraltar by the mate of the Dei Gratia, where he conducted research Vice Admiralty Court. Marine experts towed the vessel and discovered what is believed to have a few spots of blood at the captain's cabin, which also found a machete and a knife. They also discovered a deep gash in the ship's rail deduced that it was caused by a blunt object or perhaps an ax. However, the consul United States in Gibraltar also conducted an investigation and said the injury was caused by simple wear and tear and cracked the 'blood' just like rust marks. The crew of the Dei Gratia, fell under suspicion, the insurance company paid only one sixth of what the ship and the cargo had been secured. The shipment, tightly secured, he sailed to Genoa, nine barrels less missing persons mentioned above. James H. Winchester received what apparently his cursed ship, considered selling it, but relented and put him to work again, it was a decision he would live to regret it. Tragically, the ship was involved in another accident, off the coast of Massachusetts in Winchester's father was killed. The boat was a horror show.

James Winchester was appalled by the bloody ship, sell it immediately at a huge loss. But the curse continued in the boat, which changed hands an incredible seventeen times the next thirteen years. The ship was besieged in very bad condition when it was finished in the hands of GC Parker deliberately sank in the Caribbean Sea in an insurance fraud, on January 3, 1885, ending twenty-four horrible years Marie Celeste. But she was getting the last laugh; Parker had loaded the ship with a load of more policyholders of scrap, but she refused to sink, run aground on a reef near the west coast of Haiti. The crew tried to burn it, but as stubborn as always she refused to record. The fraud was revealed and Parker was thrown in jail, the boat was in its time, slowly falling reef and sinks. Was that the end of the story? Was it hell? For decades people have puzzled over what might have taken place in the maiden voyage of the Marie Celeste. Many proposed an act of piracy may have taken place, but no sign of an attack or even a struggle on board and also had been no act of piracy in the area of the Azores for decades. Others have argued that the rescue boat crew, Dei Gratia, must have had a hand in the crew and the disappearance passengers. But again there was no sign of an attack, the captain of the ships were good friends and all the research praised the crew of the Dei Gracia for their seamanship copies around the issue. So you have any better idea of what happened? As for the Sixth Part of this story to read some of the reasons thoughtful and extravagant as to what might have happened.

The fact that the captains of two ships, Celeste and Maria Gratia Dei were good friends has led many to speculate who may have colluded in an insurance scam. However, the benefit of such an undertaking would have been very modest, very modest one might think that the phase, an elaborate ruse. Some say the theory of a storm, but the weather had been favorable and even if they had beaten a freak storm, why depart from a ship seaworthy for a small dinghy and do not take protective equipment? Another theory proposed is that the spacecraft may have found an earthquake of a minor earthquake may have opened the barrels of alcohol, the crew abandoned the boat panicked and, later trying to get a day with the ship and failing to do so. But this theory is more doubtful, because why not have weighed anchor and set the helm? Furthermore, although the area is susceptible to seismic activity, there were no reports of any activity at that time in the area. A logical theory that arises is that the ship encountered a tornado, which creates an effect similar to a tornado, the water surrounding the ship could have been inhaled, creating the impression that the crew of the ship was sinking. Hence the panic mass and jumped ship. Maybe. Another theory is possible that alcohol was filtered, the resulting smoke and steam caused the crew to abandon ship in a hurry because they feared an explosion, tied a rope to the ship and dragged it for a while to see the ship and see what can happen. Therefore, it could have been just a security measure, hence the lack of provisions taken on board the boat, but the rope broke and were abandoned. Possible, but I guess we'll never know the truth accurate.
