Dec 4th - 1872
Captain Morehouse, from his ship "Dei Gratia", sees another ship that looks suspiciously out of control. On boarding it, he finds it has been abandoned in full sail and with food stores and cargo intact, but there's no clue to say why the crew are not there. The crew and passengers are never found. And thus begins the mystery of the Mary Celeste.
