In 1872, the merchant ship Mary Celeste was found drifting across the Atlantic — her cargo untouched, her crew and passengers missing without a trace.
How could an experienced captain, a well-stocked ship, and a trusted crew all vanish so completely?
In this episode of The Deep Dive, we unravel the strange true story of the Mary Celeste, dig through the facts and the fiction, and explore the leading theories — from explosive alcohol fumes to rogue waves to supernatural explanations.
Some mysteries sink.
This one refuses.
