The Explorers' Club, № DCCXXII

The brigantine Mary Celeste departed New York on 7 November 1872 with a complement of ten; she was discovered derelict by the brigantine Dei Gratia on 4 December 1872, the last log entry made on 25 November; the crew & her lifeboat were gone, but the ship was only lightly damaged; the salvage hearings at Gibraltar implied foul play, but the crew's fate has never been definitively explained.
