    They came across an island where they wanted to stop, so they anchored up and took a boat to the island. This explained the missing boat.

    I think it's pretty obvious what happened... During rough seas, some of the cargo got loose and casks with alcohol broke, spilling into the hold. When faced with a potentially lethal combination of toxic gas and explosion danger, they abandoned ship in the lifeboat, like the scenario suggested, waiting for the alcohol fumes to dissipate. But then the rope tying the lifeboat to the ship snapped, and a rowboat with 10 people cannot hope to keep up with a wind-driven ship in full sail. Sadly, the 10 perished at sea.. either through exposure, or they drowned.

    My educated guess is, after a series of misshaps, they panicked and abandoned ship after seeing the water pump break and an approaching storm. Another possibility is the crew could've been outlaws. Last article I read about it is that there was no record of the ship in any harbor in the place it last set sail before the incident. They could've encountered a military vessel and abandoned the ship before being caught with illegal/unregistered cargo.

    Ok listen I have only watched until 2:50 so far but here is my theory,
    Captain Briggs or whatever his name is, his daughter was named Mary and the sickness from the original captain was lingering around the ship. When the new crew took over, some of them got the sickness or whatever it was INCLUDING briggs daughter. I think Briggs daughter ended up dying haunted the ship to make sure that the crew died with her. And now wherever the ship is now, the little girl will continue to haunt it.
    Celeste I just google and the definition is that it’s a female given name meaning heavenly. So I think the little girl haunts it and that’s how it all happened.
    (Because little girls seem to be creepy in horror movies)

  • @filho4437
    @filho4437 2 года назад

    The lifeboat theory is way better than any abandoned ship theory. Why would anybody leave a ship before it started sinking? Another theory that doesn't get any exposure is that a superstitious crew simply got spooked by the ships history, mutinied and bailed.

    I think one balmy morning, the captain became concerned about the alcohol in the hold because a hatch cover had been blown. He wanted to air out the fumes safely. He loaded his crew, his wife, and his young daughter into a lifeboat, only intending to be off ship a couple of hours. But the rope was frayed, and crew and ship were seperated.

  • @Rowdy96

    Maybe a random tsunami or rogue wave crashed the side, startling the crew, some got swept away on deck, the survivors launched the small boat tying it to main boat, maybe thinking the Mary Celeste may sink, then another wave or waves crash the boats tearing the rope attached to Marie Celeste, drifting the small boat out to the unknown and Marie Celeste drifts blankly until discovered

    There was a snapped rope attached to the back of the ship.
    And there where cracks in some barrels which then could have let the fumes leaking out.
    And it has been none to have bad weather at the time, leading to the rope that held their life boat to snap

    This would explain why the ship was damaged but showed no signs of burning, due to a pressurized explosion.
    It explains everything being left behind, and no entry in the Captain’s log. Because explosions at sea are scary.

    I was thinking maybe like they stopped at the islands but never anchored and the ship left without them or something and when they realized the ship was gone they tried row boating towards where it could’ve been, then possibly had some sort of incident where they got least at sea and died. Or maybe that other ship threw them overboard so they could profit off a whole ship. Even though it’d be noted in the captains log. Unless that ship got pirated while the crew was at the island and they never made it back in time to save it so they got lost at sea in a row boat a second time.

    They probably just thought they ship was going to sink since it was water in the bottom and got out of there, unless old ships like this usually had a little Water in them since it was made of wood. I don't know much about boats so

    I think that maybe the crew of 10 saw a near island tied the shop down took a life boat to investigate but the ship might have drifted off leaving the crew stranded in a nearby island 11 says away from where the ship was found but I can't explain about the water pump so I'm not entirely sure I mean they could have taken it or maybe it just fell over board idk

    My theory is that there were really bad weather like choppy waves and the door was open down to the barrels and the pump is broken so the water could not be let out so they thought the ship would sink so they cut the rope and try to escape and died because of bad weather

    I think you miss some points
    1.The searching team found scar on front of ship most likely from a axe they said.
    2. There was blood in captains sword.

    I think a bad storm happened and some people were thrown overboard during the storm so the remaining people jumped on the life boat to save them and tied a rope to the ship so they didn't drift away but the storm was so strong the life boat sunk and everyone drown.

    I've heard about this ship before but still can't figure it out. If the crew was kidnapped you'd think whoever took them would have also taken supplies off the ship. Alien abduction maybe? Lol 👽

    I have looked at this story and several historical documents in this one. It is my opinion that the crew discovered the cask of alcohol were leaking and they boarded the life boat. Either the rope was accidentally cut by that crew or more possible, due to maritime laws the rope was cut Dy the crew of the Dei Gratia with hopes this was a bullion ship that was supposed to be near to that area in that time. The rope was just about half the length of standard life boat couplers of the time, which adds credence to the Dei Gratia crew. But alas, the story will remain as speculative for time immemorial.

    The alcohol fume theory seems the most plausible, but why would all ten people cram into one lifeboat? Was there only one? Could it be that the crew was overcome by fumes and died? Could the Captain have cast the dead bodies into the sea and taken off with his family in the lifeboat because they couldn't operate a whole ship? Was any food and water missing? Maybe with water coming in through the broken pump AND alcohol fumes, they realized they couldn't stay on board to fix the situation and thought the ship would sink? If the casks were leaking, what would make them think the ship would air out? Wouldn't the alcohol just leak and leak until it was gone?

    They thought they were going down so they jumped in the lifeboat only for the celeste to be okay

    They probably panicked and abandoned ship when the water pump broke and in the chaos, maybe the rope was not tied on properly and they were lost to the sea. seems the most plausible, or it was for sure, the sea monsters. what else could it be otherwise?

    I'd say that the miscalculation option is more likely.

    I thought the largest pirate era was over the same year Captain Bartholomew Roberts died. This doesn't mean there aren't any pirates; Guatemala and the Philipines are two countries that haven't outgrown their pirate phase. Those sailors lived during an era in which people died of childhood diseases. Ships used to have concubines who spread diseases over seas. In the book Treasure Island there's a short ryme that goes, "But one man of her crew alive, what put to sea with seventy five."

    pirates didn't generally slaughter everyone when capturing a ship. most of the time, they put up a black jolly roger, meaning they were going to give quarter. only if the captured ship resisted, did they instead put up a red jolly roger, which indicated they would take no prisoners.
