Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste was an American merchant brigantine found adrift and crewless in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on December 4, 1872. The ship's only lifeboat was missing, but the ship itself was undamaged and its provisions had not been ransacked. None of the seven crewmen or the captain were ever seen again. Theories have ranged from waterspouts to attacks by deep-sea creatures.
