Ghost Ship: The Mary Celeste
On December 4, 1872, a British-American ship called “the Mary Celeste” was found empty and adrift in the Atlantic. It was found to be seaworthy and with its cargo fully intact, except for a lifeboat, which it appeared had been boarded in an orderly fashion. But why? We may never know because no one on board was ever heard from again.
In November 1872, the Mary Celeste set sail from New York bound for Genoa, Italy. She was manned by Captain Benjamin Briggs and seven crew members, including Briggs’ wife and their 2-year-old daughter. Supplies on board were ample enough for six months, and luxurious—including a sewing machine and an upright piano. Commentators generally agree that to precipitate the abandonment of a seaworthy ship, some extraordinary and alarming circumstance must have arisen. However, the last entry on the ship’s daily log reveals nothing unusual, and inside the ship, all appeared to be in order.
Theories over the years have included mutiny, pirate attack, and an assault by a giant octopus or sea monster. In recent years, scientists have posed the theory that fumes from alcohol on board caused an explosion that, as a result of a scientific anomaly, did not leave behind signs of burning—but was terrifying enough that Briggs ordered everyone into the lifeboat. Check out these other bizarre ghost ship mysteries no one can figure out.
A ghost ship, also known as a phantom ship, is a vessel with no living crew aboard; it may be a fictional ghostly vessel, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a physical derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste.

Why I chose this topic?

I chose this topic because the article is ambiguous and strange, because I like the most exciting events and they do not have solutions, and because no one knows what happened on this ship.

The crew of the Mary Celeste ghost ship are still mysteriously hidden for 148 years and they didn't find them, they just found the ship and no one was on it.

The ship was not damaged, and all the goods it was carrying were in their best condition. In general, the ship was in a normal condition, except for the disappearance of all its crew members.

The strange thing in the picture is that when they found the ship after its disappearance, it was seaworthy and its cargo was intact and there was no damage.

The main idea:

evaxx1111 — 2022-11-19 18:13:36 UTC

1- The ship was found years after its disappearance.

2- What happened to the ship before it disappeared.

3- Theories about the ship and the reason for the disappearance of the crew.

Difficult words:

evaxx1111 — 2022-11-19 18:40:55 UTC

1-Seaworthy:The ship is seaworthy all these years from its demise and is unharmed.

2-Crew:The ship's crew did not find them all these years and they were not during the ship's existence.

3-Precipitate:A slight mistake could precipitate a disaster.

Example :

1-I am contemplating building a very seaworthy boat, with my current location, shallow draft would also be a very good thing.

2-The crew left the ship because it was under fire.

3-The precipitate is washed, collected, and dried at a very moderate heat.

Inference

evaxx1111 — 2022-12-09 17:49:13 UTC

This article and the writing of the author is exciting and everyone is confused about the story and the reason for the disappearance of the ship and its return after years. The writer did not know what the reason was or did not find the reason, but I think it is a mysterious and wonderful story

Purpose

evaxx1111 — 2022-12-09 17:58:27 UTC

The writer wanted us to know some of the story of the disappearance of the ship and to ask about the reason for its disappearance and to delve deeper into that.

The relationship of the article to my life is that I love ships, but in this story I find ships frightening because of their disappearance in the seas Perhaps this will make me not travel on ships since they are terrifying.
