E5: Mary Celeste – Sails, Silence, and the Sea
A ship found adrift. No crew. No lifeboat. No signs of struggle. Just canvas, timber, and silence.
In this episode, Jenn tells Jared the haunting story of the Mary Celeste — one of the most enduring maritime mysteries in history. What was supposed to be a routine voyage to Italy ended with a ghost ship drifting through the Atlantic. Theories abound, but the facts are stranger than fiction.
🎙️ In this episode:
- The eerie discovery by the Dei Gratia
- Clues left behind (and what wasn’t there)
- A messy salvage trial that made things worse
- Mutiny? Murder? Sea monster??
- The legend… and the lies
