      I grew up near Gloucester, MA. It’s a beautiful place. I spent a lot of time there when I was a kid. That whole area is nice including Rockport, and Manchester By The Sea. Yes I do remember the day of the perfect storm very well.

    There was a documentary on TV which examined some of the odd things they observed after finding it. A hatch cover was to the side as if something had lifted it. There was some traces of mild scorching. A few of the alcohol barrels were loose, damaged and empty.
    The show reasoned that several barrels loosened and the leaking alcohol had flamed. It would have been an unfamiliar and very dramatic event. Fire at Sea is one the most feared events. It was in fact a very brief and superficial fire. The crew was not aware of what happened or what to make of it and retired temporarily to the lifeboat. They probably intended to wait it out. A rope was out behind the ship. The end had no knot. The lifeboat likely was to be knotted to the end. It must have failed and the Mary Celeste sailed on away from the lifeboat which could not catch up as it slipped off the end of the rope.
    The ship sailed on. The people perished from any number of causes

      Oof. Yeah, that’s a weird one for sure. The most likely answer to me is that they had to move on from Roanoke, hence the message left carved on a tree (was it a tree? am I remembering that bit right?) But then….what happened? Where did they go? Did they go willingly? Did they all end up in the same place? Must have been devastating for the guy to come back to what he assumed would be an established colony, only to find nobody anywhere and spend the rest of his life wondering where the heck his wife and kids were.

    Leonard Nimoy used to have a series on tv called "In Search Of...." pretty much the same thing was said on that show.
    But I think there was skullduggery of some sort. It was 1872, piracy or shanghaiing ships at sea could still take place.

    If I was alive back then, and a 'mariner', I wouldn't let a mishap (like what happened to the crew, aboard the Mary Celeste), sway my decision (since I'm not superstitious), on whether to sail on her. In fact, I would find it 'titillating', to do so (just because, of that incident, alone)!! Also, love the 'creepy', ghost ship image @16:50!
    ……Also Sam, a side note, and a superb, idea. Instead of always showing the 'Titanic', screen (in the background, of all you're ship docs.), maybe this should be 'pro-quo'! Have whatever ship, you're documenting, on the screen, instead (it would be more 'apropos')😁!!
