The Mary Celeste - Ghost Ship Part 2

The Mary Celeste - Ghost Ship Part 2

The mysterious disappearance of ten souls would not be the last of the misfortune to befall the ill-fated Mary Celeste. Insurance fraud, lost revenue, madness, and suicide would all become dreadful notches in the gunwale of her sad history, along with the premature deaths of three of her captains. Whether you believe in curses or not, often the best insurance is to leave fate untempted.

Tonight’s Quote:

“The sea has never been friendly to man. At most, it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.” — Joseph Conrad, novelist
