Found with the table set and the lifeboat gone.
The Mary Celeste was discovered in December 1872 drifting in the Atlantic between the Azores and Portugal with her cargo of denatured alcohol intact, the captain's last log entry ten days old, and no sign of her seven-person crew. The lifeboat was missing. No bodies, no blood, no distress signal, no piracy markers were ever found. The official inquiry concluded with no determinable cause. A century and a half later, the case has accumulated dozens of theories — none of them supported by physical evidence sufficient to close the file.
