There are many stories about the sea. Some are legends and some are true. One of the strangest is a true story about a sailing ship, it remains a mystery even today
In 1982 the Marie Celeste started on the trip across the Atlantic Ocen with a crew of ten. Some time later, the captain of another ship the Dei Gratia, spotted the Marie Celeste. There was something strange about her appearance. The captain called out, but there was no response. The Marie Celeste seemed deserted.
when the captain rowed over to inspect the ship, no one came to meet him. He knew somethings was wrong, but there were no signs of violence. Nothing was missing and there was no damage to the ship's instruments. Even the lifeboats were still in place. And strangely enough, the remnants of a recent meal were on table. Where was everyone? Did all of the crew decide to jump from the Marie Celecete at the same time? or did a monster come up from the sea onto the ship and take the captain and crew away?
The captain of the Dei Gratia looked arounds for clues. The last entry in the marie celeste's diary was ten days earlier, when the ship was more than 400 miles away. However, the food on the table was only a few days. If the crew were on the ship a few days ago, why weren't there any later entries in the diary?
No one was able to explain the mystery of the Marie Celeste, but the public had many opinions. Some thought a giant octopus sucked up the ten members of the crew. Others said a whirlwind carried them all way. A few people believed the Marie celeste was under a curse, because it sank on a later voyage. Now the the Marie Celeste lies somewhere at the bottom of the ocean, no one can ever solve the mystery.
Do you ever go to the sea? I will go there this autumn.
