A Mystery of SEA

A story is about the captain Briggs has suddenly disappeared in the Ocean.It was the afternoon of December 5, 1872, and ship called the Dei Gratia near the coast of Portugal. Suddenly, the Captain (Captain Morehouse) saw another small ship. It looked out of control, but there were no signals from the crew. After two hours, a group of people went on board the ship. What they saw was very strange.

A ship like this was normally noisy and busy, but the Mary Celeste was completely silent. Captain Briggs, his wife Sarah, two-year-old daughter Sophia Matilda, and the crew of seven were nowhere on board.

The crew probably left very quickly, because there were cups of tea and food on the tables. The ship's cat was still there were no people. But what they feel so strange is the life board was still there in the ship and davit in a perfect condition, and the washed clothes had just been hung out to dry. But what actually happened for the captain and those other crews in the ship? All of them were suddenly disappeared. Perhaps there was something happening during the two hours time.

The ship was the Mary Celeste from New York. His story is still one of the great mysteries of the sea. Did the Captain think there was a danger on board? Did he suddenly see an iceberg? Maybe there was a storm at sea? Or perhaps there was even a sea monster?

All we know for sure is that no one ever saw the captain and crew of the Mary Celeste again.
