Today we want to notify you about a ghostly ship that is the only eyewitness of the people on board who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. So let's talk about this terrible incident, which is still known as the biggest mystery. This is on December 4, 1872, the British American ship Mary Celeste was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azores Islands. When a member of another ship called the captain of Mary Celeste's ship, there was no response from there and when people reached nearer to it, everyone was shocked to see the view there. Because they found no one there, as everyone went missing but all their belongings remained there the same way. So where did these people suddenly disappear, and what would have happened on this ship?
At that time, it was also known by another name Amazon. Actually, it was launched under British registration in 1861 as Amazon and then transferred to American ownership in 1868 where it got a new name.
In fact, in November 1872, this Mary Celeste had set out for a journey from New York to Italy and its captain was Benjamin Briggs who went on this journey with his family (his wife and daughter) and seven other crew members. The ship carried 1,700 barrels of crude alcohol and was also loaded with six months' worth of food and water. But this ship never reached its destination and what probably happened there that all the people on the ship suddenly disappeared. When this ship was found in an abandoned state, then all their belongings were in a safe condition, so it cannot even be said that any pirates must have robbed them. The only thing that was not on the ship was the lifeboat.
So people made their own assumptions to solve this mystery, such as leaking of crude alcohol, due to which the captain took the lifeboat and fled from there with his companions. Or there may have been a sea storm, due to which the people present on the ship would have died, but the surprising thing was that the ship did not even have a single scratch. Yes, there was no sign of any accident or violent activity, then the question arises as to how these people suddenly disappeared.
Was this ship haunted? let us clear one thing that this Mary Celeste was also called the cursed ship that had a very shadowy past because ever since it was built, there have been such incidents happened that you will also be surprised to hear about. Sometimes the captain who sailed this ship suddenly fell ill and started having serious health issues, leading to his death, and once it collided with another ship in the English Channel. Once it happened that Mary Celeste was towed to a shipyard for some repairs, then as soon as the night fell, suddenly a fire broke out at the shipyard, destroying the topside, which was a very terrible incident indeed.
And finally, this mysterious incident happened where people suddenly disappeared from the ship. There was a lot of research on this incident but even today no one is sure where exactly those people went and how they suddenly disappeared. Even today, almost 150 years later, the Mary Celeste ship still remains a huge mystery.
