The Mary Celeste was found adrift in 1872 — crew vanished, food still warm on the table, cargo untouched. No distress signal, no damage, no bodies. 150 years later, no agreed explanation exists. The lifeboat was gone but launched deliberately. Something made ten people abandon a perfectly seaworthy ship in open ocean and never return.
