Now, a new documentary brings together scientists and historians who are using cutting-edge technology and fresh evidence to try to solve the mystery once and for all.
Combining historical research with modern forensic techniques, the special explores what may have caused the crew’s sudden departure and why vital navigation equipment and the ship’s lifeboat were missing.
More than a century and a half later, the fate of the Mary Celeste continues to captivate historians and mystery lovers alike, and tonight’s documentary promises a fascinating new perspective on one of the sea’s greatest enigmas.
