Ghost Ship Story - Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste was a ship carrying petroleum from the United States to Italy in 1872. Captain David Morehouse ordered his crew to head towards this mysterious ship after seeing it sailing in an erratic directionless way. The main sources I use in today's story are a Smithsonian article by Jess Bloomberg, a Britannica entry by Amy Tekkenen and a museum hack article by Alex Johnson.
