The Mysterious Case of the Mary Celeste : 150 Years of Myth and Mystique, Hardback Book

The Mysterious Case of the Mary Celeste : 150 Years of Myth and Mystique Hardback

Hardback

Description

4 December 1872: The brigantine Dei Gratia chances upon another brigantine out on the Atlantic near the Azores.

She is the Mary Celeste. She is under sail. But she is deserted. Silent as a drowned cadaver. For 150 years since then, the mystery of why the Mary Celeste was abandoned, and what happened to the ten souls on board, has spawned thousands of conjectures, conspiracy theories, fictions and fantasies.

Some have thought they solved the mystery. Some have just spun yarns. One, at least, has claimed it was all a hoax. The Mysterious Case of the Mary Celeste: 150 Years of Myth and Mystique unveils those stories - the 'fake news', 'alternative facts' and the myths fabricated from fractured truths.

These are the real facts in search of a truth that remains unfathomable to this day.
