This event is largely still considered an unsolved case and shows how many people are still interested in this day, continuing to write articles, books and even make movies about the event.

Connection: This article explains that there is still no concrete reason to this day to solve the mystery of the ships abandonment. This can be connected to the reason of belief, unexplained as the case has yet to be resolved.]]> 2023-04-01 13:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540642657 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540788423 Description: In this article a scientist claims to know the reason behind the mystery of the Mary Celeste, Dr. Andrea Sella built a replica of the Mary Celeste in an attempt to prove the abandonment of the ship. They used butane gas to simulate an explosion caused by leaking alcohol in the ship's cargo, creating a pressure-wave explosion which would result in no burning or scorching. This experiment made the scientist conclude that the ship's passengers would've been scared of the alleged explosion and abandoned ship. This would've had to mean that someone on the ship had a pipe in their mouth or something and sparked alcohol in barrels on the ship and there was record of 300 gallons of alcohol leaking on the ship.

Connection: I believe this connection has a red flag of proof by verbosity, given that it is simply a bunch of research conducted by one person that gives the appearance that there is evidence. For a reason for belief I think this would fall under perception and observation given that it is just someone's specific viewpoint on what could have happened.]]> 2023-04-01 19:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540788423 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540792691 Description: This article has a different theory about what apparently happened to the Mary Celeste, claiming that the captain was an insurance scammer and crashed the boat into a reef just off the coast of Haiti, even dating it to November 1884.
"In November 1884, her commanding officer, Gilman C. Parker, along with several crooked shippers tried to scam the insurance company that insured the Mary Celeste. Filling the ship with worthless cargo, they forged the manifest, claiming a value of $30,000 ($800,000 in 2017 dollars). A month later, Parker set sail for Haiti. As the Mary Celeste approached the port, Parker deliberately steered the ship into a well-known reef. The collision ripped the keel apart, wrecking the ship. The crew abandoned ship and Parker proceeded to file a claim for the doctored value of the cargo." (Jason Ponic, 2017)

Connection: Similar to Post #2 I believe the same red flag and reason for belief are exhibited here, (I'm not sure if that's okay but there's really not a lot of weird explanations or extreme reasons for belief with this case...). This "mysterious" case seems to not be all that mysterious as several websites claim to have solved the case, however with it being so long ago obviously it's hard to have exact answers. From a Discovery website article (https://www.discoveryuk.com/mysteries/what-really-happened-to-the-mary-celeste/) it states that "there may never be a final answer to the Mary Celeste mystery) but it does state the same reason for the abandonment of the ship possibly being the captain's purposeful crash. However, in the Discovery article it says the ship continued to sail until 1885 not 1884 like this post's article states. It's interesting how such a big topic can have so many different explanations that don't match up. ]]> 2023-04-01 19:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540792691 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540795797 Description: A picture from a 1943 paper (Arizona Republic), showing that the mystery was relevant to the world for long after the fact and even to this day.

Connection: The newspaper article simply addressing the incident and making it a big title calling it "Sea's Greatest Mystery" which at the time it may have been, but it seems a bit dramatic. This is another example of unexplained as a reason to believe. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540795797 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540799593 Description: The picture is from the same newspaper article as my last post, the Arizona Republic newspaper from 1943. The article states as addressed in a previous post that there was a lot of alcohol on the ship which could lead to a flammable explosion/fire but as the article states there was no sign of fire.

Connection: It's hard to establish many other connections besides unexplained or simple perception and observation as many articles, pictures and more push the idea of this being an unexplained mystery to this day. This article adds to the mystery by stating that the ship had no evidence of fire damage or other disasters making it confusing why people would just abandon the ship. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540799593 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540802310 Description: The wreckage of the Mary Celeste can be seen in this photo and is located in a reef in Haiti. 

Connection: The wreckage is said to be one of the only ships to have wrecked in this specific area, making the mystery even more intriguing. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540802310 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540803836 Description: An almost hour long video about the mystery of the Mary Celeste, with almost a million views (855,696). The video is made by a YouTuber that presents the story and a possible reason for the ship's abandonment.

Connection: Another example of someone believing that the alcohol being the reason for the people leaving the ship. This person thinks that the barrels on the ship were rubbing together from the ship's movement and created strong alcohol fumes and worried the people of the ship. An example of proof by verbosity. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540803836 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540809989 Description: A video by Buzzfeed with over 4 million views addressing the mystery of the ship. The video addressing multiple theories including sea monsters, the alcohol theory and more.

Connection: This video is more or less a video discussing the unsolved mystery and making it an unexplained connection, being more about talking about the story than addressing any serious evidence. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540809989 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540811169 Description: A video with 270,000 views talking about the mystery from a smaller YouTuber who is just talking about the event.

Connection: The video talks about possible theories including the alcohol fumes/explosion, pirates, mutiny and murder. The video and other videos like this are simply here to talk about the event and provide theories and the story for the public giving people the choice to decide what they believe and making the story continue to be a mystery. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540811169 bryoratchison https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540815879 1. What I learned that most surprised me about this topic is how various people have allegedly proven the mystery, yet to this day most people believe it's still a mystery. I also find it interesting how many people are fascinated by this story when it doesn't seem that "crazy/mysterious" to me.

2. I've always been interested in the unexplained but in all honesty I'm not that interested in the topic, it was just one of the only topics that weren't taken already. I find unexplained topics most interesting though, something that genuinely interests me that is unexplained in my opinion are aliens/UFOs.

3. I found the theory of pirates being the reason for the abandonment of the ship most interesting, the idea of pirates taking the people of the ship is a compelling story that may not be that far out there.

4. That alcohol barrels on a boat could rub together so much that strong fumes could come from them and cause people to feel sick. I find it interesting how many ships must have had the same thing happen back then and how terrible conditions on a boat for so long at sea must have been, yet it continued for many years as the main source of long distance travel.

5. Anything involving other people forcing beliefs on you in my opinion is the most harmful, Appeal to Authority or Suppressed by Authorities, as you think you should be able to believe certain reputable people but sometimes they can have their own agenda. I think All Natural is least harmful, in my opinion most people should have common sense about things being labelled a certain way today and we should be able to see past a simple marketing scheme.

6. The thing I would pass on is to just look into things/think before you believe in something right away. That goes for almost anything today whether it be something you see on social media or simply the belief in something like Bigfoot, it's never usually worth it to just take someone's word for something, even if you're not well versed or knowledgeable on something it never hurts to fact check or just have your own opinion on something today. ]]> 2023-04-01 20:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bryoratchison/9hemluj7tiu3cck4/wish/2540815879
