Since her loss, many theories have been suggested to explain what happened. Piracy, Insurance Fraud, Mutiny and Poor Weather have been mentioned as possible causes of the disaster. Some believe more sinister elements were at work that day, such as UFOs… The Bermuda Triangle… Sea Monsters… Witchcraft… and things too terrible to contemplate. It is November 1872, and it is the end of a peaceful day onboard the Mary Celeste. What will you do now ? |
