The Mary Celeste, a 282 ton brigantine merchant ship, is discovered unmanned and abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 600 miles west of Portugal, Europe. Of the ten people known to have been aboard, nothing more is ever discovered. The mystery of this day has fired the imaginations of many songwriters and produced numerous songs including Marie Celeste by The Polecats, Marie Celeste by David Thornton, The Ballad Of The Mary Celeste by Joel Sattler and Eric Blackmer, Voyage Of The Mary Celeste by Colony Collapse and Mary Celeste by Byfist.
