Stories from Azores · Portugal

Investigators found the Mary Celeste adrift with its sails trimmed as logged ten days prior, suggesting no immediate flight. Provisions for six months were abundant, and navigational instruments were present. The ship's last log entry on November 25th stated 'Island Santa Maria reached.' The presence of a sword and the circumstances of the crew's disappearance remain unexplained. A sword with the Savoyen family crest was found on board, and the ship's cargo was undisturbed.
