One of the strangest sea stories is that of the sailing ship Mary Celeste. On November 5th

1872, she left New York bound for Genoa with a cargo of industrial alcohol and eleven

people on board. A month later, she was seen by another ship, but the captain noticed that

the Mary Celeste was sailing strangely, and decided to investigate. He found the ship to be completely deserted. The sails were set and in good condition, there was plenty of food and water, all the crew's personal possessions were on board, and there was food and drink on the cabin table. No one has ever been able to explain what happened, though there have been explanations varying from a mutiny among the crew to aliens in a spaceship taking everyone away.
