In this episode we look at the mystery of the Mary Celeste, a merchant ship that in 1872 was found having been abandoned for over a week floating in the Atlantic ocean, all who had been aboard it missing for no reason that anyone could discover, the ship still in good working order. We'll look at the history of the ship both before and after this incident, as well as how the mystery reverberated through history, the legend expanding and growing over time.
