This is a true story and it's pretty freaky to say the least. I always thought that I was good at figuring out unsolved mysteries but this one has got me stumped. The Mary Celeste was launched in Nova Scotia in 1860. Her original name was “Amazon”. Over the next 10 years she was involved in several accidents at sea and passed through a number of owners. The Amazons first captain, Robert McLellan died nine days after taking command. He was the first of three captains to die aboard her. Eventually the Amazon turned up at a New York salvage auction where she was purchased for $3,000 and renamed the “Mary Celeste”.
