The Mary Celeste: Solving History's Most Famous Ghost Ship Mystery

Hidden Histories: The Untold Files by Ibnul Jaif Farabi / Light Knot Studios

Episode notes
Found adrift in 1872, the merchant ship Mary Celeste was seaworthy, fully provisioned, but completely abandoned. The crew of ten had vanished without a trace. For 150 years, the mystery has inspired theories from pirates to sea monsters to mutiny. We go beyond the myth, examining the ship's cargo of industrial alcohol, the captain's last log entry, and the flawed official inquiry. The most likely explanation is a terrifying, rapid chain of events that forced a desperate, fatal decision. Hosted by Ibnul Jaif Farabi. Produced by Light Knot Studios (lightknotstudios.com).
