Ghost Ship Facts

In 2007, an unmanned yacht was discovered drifting off the coast of Australia. The engine and a laptop were running, the radio and GPS were working and a meal was set to eat, but the three-man crew were not on board.

On December 5, 1872, sailors spotted the Mary Celeste drifting in the Atlantic with nobody aboard. The ship was seaworthy, her cargo of 1,701 barrels of alcohol mostly intact, and a six-month supply of food untouched. The captain, his wife, their 2-year-old daughter, and seven crew had vanished. 153 years later, nobody knows where they went.
