Mary Celeste

Mutiny

Mutiny is another rather obvious explanation for what happened on board of Mary Celeste if crew would try to get rid of tyrannical captain Briggs.

Facts that are supporting the theory:

• all the ship papers were taken except captain’s logbook and the lifeboat was missing, which could suggest that after killing captain and his family crew left on the lifeboat (although leaving ship and trying to survive on raft in the middle of Atlantic would be quite suicidal choice),
  
• empty barrels of alcohol could have led to dispute between captain and the crew.
  

Facts that oppose the theory:

• no signs of struggle or violence,
  
• there are no proofs to support theory of captain Briggs being tyrannical,
  
• crew left behind their belongings,
  
• none of the crewmembers was ever found alive.
