The report
The Mary Celeste was discovered on December 5, 1872, drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship was seaworthy and still had its cargo, but the crew had vanished without a trace. No signs of struggle or foul play were ever found. The mystery of what happened to the crew remains one of the most enduring maritime enigmas.
