For more than 150 years, the fate of the crew aboard the Mary Celeste has remained one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries. In 1872, the merchant brig was discovered drifting through the Atlantic Ocean with her cargo intact, her lifeboat missing, and every passenger and crew member gone without a trace. There were no signs of violence, no pirate attack, and no obvious explanation. Was it mutiny? Pirates? A rogue wave? The Bermuda Triangle? Or is there a far more logical explanation? In this documentary, we examine the historical evidence, separate fact from fiction, and explore the leading theories surrounding one of the greatest maritime mysteries ever recorded. Featuring: • The discovery by the Dei Gratia • Captain Benjamin Briggs and his family • The Gibraltar investigation • Why the piracy theory failed • The alcohol vapor explosion hypothesis • What modern experiments reveal • Why historians believe the mystery may finally have an answer If you enjoy military history, histor
