Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A ship found sailing herself, with not a single soul aboard.In December 1872, a British crew spotted a vessel drifting strangely off the coast of the Azores. Her sails were set. Her cargo sat untouched. Food and fresh water remained below deck, enough to last another six months. But Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife, their two year old daughter, and seven crew members had vanished, along with the ship's only lifeboat. No bodies. No wreckage. No note. Just silence.Few people know just how close investigators came to an answer, and how completely the evidence has resisted one ever since.Mary Celeste is the true, meticulously researched account of one of history's most haunting maritime disappearances. From the ship's cursed beginnings on the shores of Nova Scotia to the final log entry written hours before her crew vanished, this book walks you through every documented detail, every courtroom finding, and every serious theory ever proposed, piracy, mutiny, a captain's fatal misjudgment, even a violent seaquake beneath the waves.The hidden truth behind her empty decks may never be fully known.
