Description
In 1872 the Mary Celeste was found abandoned by all hands. No one ever found out what happened to her crew. She was salvaged and put back into service. In 1884 Captain Gilman C. Parker then takes the Mary Celeste to Haiti, where he runs the ship aground on the Rochelios Bank as part of an insurance scam. Just to be sure, he sets the still salvageable ship on fire.
2006 � Dr. Dirk Piscador surveys the Rochelios Bank for possible wreck sites. On the last day of his expedition he tries a small portion of the Bank identified on an old chart as �Dente de Diablo Reef.� He finds a wreck. A lab in Nova Scotia confirms that charred timber samples from the site match trees felled in Nova Scotia in 1861. Bilge stones found at the site are examined by mineralogists and determined to have come from an area in New York well know for supplying ballast to sailing ships. That is also the location where the Mary Celeste had undergone and extensive refit prior to being returned to service. Dr. Piscador has found the Mary Celeste.
Come join the dive team as they try to rescue valuable artifacts from the ship.
