In 1872, the Mary Celeste was discovered drifting in the Atlantic Ocean with no one aboard.
Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife Sarah, their young daughter Sophia, and seven crew members had vanished. The ship was still seaworthy. Much of its cargo and supplies remained aboard. But its lifeboat was missing, and the ten people who had sailed from New York were never seen again.
In this long-form historical sleep story, we follow the Mary Celeste from her departure from New York, through her difficult Atlantic voyage, to her mysterious discovery at sea and the investigation that followed.
We also explore the theories that have surrounded the case for more than a century — while carefully separating documented evidence from speculation, folklore, and later fictional embellishments.
This story is told in a calm, slow-paced style for sleep, relaxation, and late-night listening.
