A ship found with NO ONE on board 🚢 The Mary Celeste
On November 7, 1872, the Mary Celeste sailed from New York for Genoa with 10 people on board. A month later she was found drifting in the Atlantic – food on board, belongings untouched, lifeboat gone. Nobody was ever seen again. And the famous "still-warm dinner"? Invented later.
