In the records of maritime history, few mysteries endure like that of the ship found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872, her crew vanished without a trace.
The vessel, a 282-ton brigantine, was discovered on December 4, 1872, by the crew of another merchant ship, approximately 400 miles east of the Azores. The ghost ship was in seaworthy condition, her cargo of 1,701 barrels of industrial alcohol largely intact, yet her ten souls were gone, leaving behind a riddle that has baffled investigators, historians, and storytellers for over a century.
What caused ten people to simply vanish without a trace? Pirates? Mutiny? Sea Monsters? No theory successfully explains the mystery of this ghost ship.
