Mary Celeste

Pirates attack

One of the obvious explanations for the mysterious disappearance of entire crew was the act of piracy.

Facts that are supporting the theory:

  • none of the people aboard was ever seen again,
  • ship was going through the area where Otoman pirates used to operate.


Facts that oppose the theory:

  • cargo and crew belongings were left untouched,
  • there are no signs of struggle or violence,
  • if the crew would be killed by pirates why the lifeboat would be missing?
