El misterio del Mary Celeste, un barco maldito || Relatos del lado oscuro (Podcast)

0:00 He likes sea stories of course he does. We love to think of those people who were riding on a boat and made to sea dangerously with sailboats without engines with incredible value. It is something that fills us with amazement today. Of course, being a sailor is still a very dangerous profession, even if you sail on ships of thousands of tons that would exceed any sailing boat ten or twelve times in terms of length and in terms of weight hundreds of times we think of a modern boat of great tonnage with about six hundred and fifty thousand tons against a ship of about six hundred tons that was a reasonable ship of the seventeenth century. However, it remains dangerous. Year after year, many ships are lost throughout history. It is very difficult to know a real number of ships that have sunk even in recent times. Perhaps the nearest list of accidents and disasters is the list of the insurance company OIDS in England, but there are many others. So it' s hard to know. But year after year, hundreds of ships disappear. Some of them don' t leave any prints. A long time later it is known what happened when the

1:30 assessments, when the search is shallow, etcetera. But few ships are left in memory. There are certain iconic facts that mark history and that remind themselves of the extent to which if you approach anyone and tell them titanic right away, the memory of the greatest ship of all time comes to them, the worst maritime tragedy of all time. Of course it' s not true, but he kept that idea, the picture of the pretty girl standing at the boat test balancing with the gallanazo behind. I think it' s very deep. But even though it wasn' t the worst tragedy of all time, nor was it the biggest ship of all time, the idea stayed. There is another that has remained like the mysterious ship par excellence. And yes, there' s a mystery behind it. Why don' t you stay with me and we' ll keep an eye on this. Tales of the dark side, strange beings, events, is inexplicable versity fa stories that other minds

3:00 prefer to ignore. Let me take you back in time. We' re at the New York docks now. It is the end of October of one thousand eight hundred seventy- two. They' re about to be one hundred and fifty years old. At that time, New York is leaping into modernity. It' s an incredibly agitated city. In the port all the time there is movement, ships that arrive, ships that leave the beep of the first commercial steam ships that enter and leave the port, the rhythmic movement of the groves of the great sailboats that constantly cross the Atlantic Ocean towards England or even that go beyond, that go towards the end of good hope and from there towards unknown regions of the South Pacific. There are hundreds of ships with those huge structures that make up the masts and the bellamen. There' s a cold morning in that October. Towards the end of October, a man walks along the shore of pier fifty is a known subject. Before he got there, he just passed by and waved to another sailor over there on another boat. He went on to talk to someone in a forty- fourth street office, Captain Breaks Benjamins Put Breggs. He' s a guy who goes,

4:35 doesn' t have blood in his veins, carries sea water. His father was the famous captain Neithan Briggs, his brother Oliver Bregus, his uncle Jason Briggs, all of them captains of high ships, the same at thirteen years old was climbed on a ship and he himself at thirty- seven years old. Now, now that we' re watching him walk down this pier full of bodega, fish smell, steam. Now he' s a certified captain. The years at sea have borne fruit and this man has a captain certification. All seas, all cargoes. It' s an important certification.

5:20 It' s very respectful. Not everyone can get it. And right now he' s heading for a new commission. He' ll take care of a boat. He' s been aboard several ships over the years, but this is the first time he' s been a partner of the ship. Thanks to a constant saving to the good handling of money, Briggs has bought a third of a ship. Of course he' s a very serious man. Briggs has earned the reputation of being a reliable man. First of all, that descendant of a Puritan family himself. He' s a very religious man. When he is at home in Kottage Rose, he usually attends the church with real taste where he shares as if he were one of the pastors.

6:09 He' s a very proud man. He usually wears his suit his captain cap with real pride. Of course, half his family dead from the sea, as he' s not going to be proud to be a survivor. He has thought on several occasions that perhaps he should move away to his more than twenty years at sea. Perhaps it would be wise to return to land to be with his family. But, as I say, he' s a very serious guy. He doesn' t do that kind of thing that' s said about a love in every port. Not him. He lives in love with his wife Sarah camp Sara the same, a girl of Puritan origin, is the mother of Arthur, his first son who is now about seven years old and has a little girl of just two years old.

6:56 Sophia is the pope' s madness. Everyone says she' s an equal daddy is a little angel who jumps and sometimes Briggs is very sad to get home and not recognize him, he feels sorry for that. But keep in mind that sometimes a trip to Europe, for example, takes about a month. But if you are, for example, in Spain or Portugal, you go on a trip in the Mediterranean, from there you go to the Mediterranean and sometimes three or four short routes within the Mediterranean to one England, one to Africa, one to New Zealand. And he left the whole year. Of course, when he comes back, he comes back with an impressive income, but almost no one remembers him at home anymore. So you' ve thought about it two or three times, but these thoughts are not in your mind right now. As he walks through that proud harbor of who Captain Benjaminsbuner Briggs is, he watches the distance. Your boat isn' t exactly a big boat, it' s a cocksucker. It' s a ship that must weigh about two hundred and eighty tons. It is about thirty meters long by about seven meters wide. It' s not a big deal, if you think about it. However, at the time it was a good boat,

8:26 not very large, but reliable aesthetic. It is a sailboat two main masts, a diagonal one, has a combination of candles between squares and triangulars that makes it very suitable for sailing from the United States to Europe. Captain Briggs. He' s amazed that I haven' t seen him. You ' re amazed because it' s a beautiful boat. It' s freshly repaired. It' s not new. It' s a boat that was built maybe about ten years ago, but it' s been fixed and it ' s been beautiful. As he walks he is distinguished by his thin black silhouette, the deck rails, the main hut, those beautiful masts of almost thirty meters high and as he approaches he is surprised by something. Part of the boat' s job is to protect the hull. He has been added some bronze plates to care for the wood. When he looks at them with the rays of the sun, it produces a glow that gives him a touch that he defines as elegant. It' s a beautiful boat. English speakers often call the ships as if they were female the ship. So you refer to her as a pretty girl. Once he gets there, he interviews with the owner of the company, his partner, a last name subject. Winchester

10:01 is a man who has several ships, is a subject who handles a lot of cargo and this is one of so many ships and has partnered with Briggs, but he retains most of the Plastican ship. About the charge they' re agreeing on. Briggs is very happy. Plus for a reason. On this trip his wife will accompany him, Yes, Sarah, Sara will accompany him along with Sophia Arthur can not come because at seven years old he already goes to school and no way he leaves school and only God knows when they will return. If all goes well, they' ll be spending Christmas in Messina in Italy. So how good is the talk revolves around the future burden to the fact that it is accompanied by his wife for one thousand eight hundred seventy- two. The myth that carrying women on a boat is bad luck.

10:50 It' s behind us. Briggs has accompanied himself with his wife on other occasions. In fact, there are rumors that the boy' s name is Arthur because when they got married, the boat they went to work on was called Arthur Hawkins. If there are rumors out there, but the fact is, it' s not the first time you' ve been with him. He enjoys being with you. On those long journeys there' s no such thing as love in every port. That' s not true. When they arrive at a port, they have little time to resupply themselves to resume the journey. The silver that' s good. They agree on some things. He assists in presenting credentials for the port to authorize him. Don' t lose sight of something. In one thousand eight hundred and seventy- two, the North American ports had a very organized administration. There were no ships coming out, just like that. Each captain had to present his travel plan, his credentials. The crew credentials fill a number of requirements, document the load. There was an administrative process and this would take him a few days.

11:58 It can already be seen until the beginning of November that Sarah would arrive with Sophia and impressed them with the beautifulness of the ship. Sophia' s two years old. He' s sympathetic, he' s driving around like crazy, watching everything, playing everything. Mrs Cuf, that is, Sara, returns her to the Captain' s cabin. The Captain has sent to enable well that, very protected, very beautiful. The burden, however, is a delicate burden, it is a special burden. They' ll carry a thousand seven hundred barrels of alcohol, but don' t imagine drinking alcohol, whiskey or anything. It' s not alco. The industrial company is a burden of a German company that is located in the United States and is sending to Genoa, in Italy. It' s a special burden. It ' s expensive, very expensive. These types of chemicals that begin to have industrial aurje become very expensive. The freight of taking this to Genoa is worth practically the same as the ship that takes it those days that are there in New York. Besides, it' s time for a walk. You know why Sarah wants to buy something nice. It' s New York, for God' s sake. So you have to look for something beautiful and they do it is tremendous. They visit several places. They return at night to the boat. The crew you see on the ship is also a good crew to see. The first officer is a guy named Richardson, a man about twenty- eight or thirty years old, seriously quiet. He' s looking

13:31 to get the certification to be captain, and sailing with Captain Briggs is a point in his favor. He' s a serious guy. He' s known to the owner of Winchester' s company. He' s married to a niece of his. They' re trusted people. The second on board is Andrew Gilling Gilling. The second officer is also a relatively young man, twenty- five to twenty- seven years old. He' s also been on several of Winchester' s ships. He' s a regular employee, he' s not improvised. Contrary to what is believed in some texts, they are not people who were lifted from the street, they are not sailors of Winchester. After that comes William Heath, William Heide Seth supercharge is the man who is with the crew. He' s a young boy with many aspirations. Known from Captain Briggs' family. He has worked with Oliver, the brother, who is also captain of high ships and has worked with Winchester on other occasions. They' re close people. Besides this, they' re gonna take four sailors. There are four men of German origin. A couple of brothers, the Lorenzen brothers, are accompanied by Arian Martens and Gotliff Gutshall. These German sailors are natives of the Frisian Islands, sailors of all life, people who have lived at sea, all their lives. They' re going back to their land right now. They came to America on a cargo ship that in turn has left for another place and they prefer to come

15:01 back for a reason and this is important for you to know. One of the brothers, Lorenzen, is about to be a father. He hopes to arrive in time because he wishes to be when his son, his firstborn, is born. The other brother, Lorenzen, is waiting for the Bride to marry. They plan to get married near Christmas. Everything' s ready now. Then comes Gatlef Gatley is a serious man, 30 years very quiet. He' s waiting for his whole family. He' s a man who ' s worked his whole life and always comes back close to Christmas. As for Arian Martens, he' s a young man. He has to come back because there' s a sick relative, his father or his mother.

15:41 It is not clear which one of them is serious, but they have enlisted with Winchester during the previous days requesting the boat to go there. They want to go Europe. It' s very likely that being there, they' ll have to get four other crew members because they' re not going back to America. They' re planning on staying over there. As you can see, there are few crew members. If we add Captain Benjamin to this, his wife and little Sophia are about ten people, no more. It ' s a small boat, but everything goes very well when Richardson talks to Benjamin. They agree. Coming and going is normal. This is like in one of these comings and goings. Walking down the street near the harbor, Benjamin meets an old acquaintance, is Captain Morhouse. He' s a wardrobe Morhause is a man a little older than Benjamin, but he has great affection and great respect for him. Don' t lose sight of something. Benjamin was a grumet during the Civil War on a Confederate ship and Morhouse was a Confederate captain. They were together there they know each other, they have certain proximity, they have seen each other hundreds of times at sea and Morhouse does not miss the opportunity to invite them to dinner at one of the best restaurants in New York. All three of them are coming, Sophie, Sarah and

17:11 Benjamin It' s a family scene. When they go there they are very impressed. Sara' s amazing. He' s put on his new dress. She looks gorgeous, Sophie. Well, if he hadn' t had his hair cut in such an atrocious way, he would have looked very nice, but it actually seems more like, because I eat very little hair. But he still had a great time and it was made from film. Morhouse is not accompanied by his wife on that occasion, but they live together talking about things. Even by chance they' re both going to sail in the same direction. Of course there' s a difference. Morhouse is going to sail about a fortnight after what' s going to be Briggs, but they ' re likely to be there in the Mediterranean. So they' re making plans, because besides, Oliver, the brother, it' s also likely that he' s over there near Christmas and they' ve planned to see each other in messines and it' s that everyone is known. When Briggs walks the docks, people know him. After that event come a few days of burdens. Supervise the cargo. There' s a good relationship, all the supplies are loaded. There' s a problem during loading. The boat ' s main boat, a skiff it carries, is damaged when something is hit by a crane object, something with a crane hits it and breaks it.

18:38 Winchester promises you' ll get a new one, don' t worry. Other than that, they' re wearing a little one called the yola. One and wave is a very small boat, if it is for two or three people. It is the one that serves to communicate when they arrive, for example, to a port, the one that is dulled to take the moorings to the dock. It' s the yolite. This little girl is not a boat, an open sea boat. It is not clear whether or not the spare arrived. The fact of the matter is that on November 5th, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- two, Benjamins Put Briggs Captain in command of his ship, leaves New York. The objective to reach Genoa Italy in the Mediterranean is a complicated route. The Atlantic in these areas, north of Ecuador can be very tempestuous. They will sail from New York towards the Azores and then, as they pass the Island of Santa Maria, the last of the Azores Islands, they will head north again northeast, heading towards Gibraltar, the Strait of Gibraltar and from there to the Mediterranean. To Italy.

19:52 It' s a journey that shouldn' t take them any further, maybe a month and a half, about, six to eight weeks in extreme. They' re happy everything' s going. Very well. There is a detail shortly before sailing while the port pilot is guiding you towards the exit, Sara asks you to send one last letter. Sara loves to write letters, and now she' s written this beautiful letter to Grandma, to Briggs ' mom, to the Captain. Her mother- in- law in the letter describes how Sophie plays all the time and walks curiously around here and there.

20:37 And how he fell in love with the cat. Oh, yeah, po pu gu is what he calls it, the cat has no name on the boat, he has a cat to eat the mice and he' s out there. And, obviously, it' s a boat cat shouldn' t have been very neat, but the girl loves it, caress it and the cat chases it around here. Let' s go a little ahead of time. We are now in December, in the Atlantic, five December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- two. Captain Morhouse, yes, Captain Briggs' friend, is sailing and has broken the return of the Azores towards the northeast, towards Portugal. It aims to reach Gibraltar, where it will await instructions for the delivery of the cargo it carries on its ship. His ship carries 1, 800 barrels of oil, barrels literally, barrels of petroleum wood. Morhouse is accompanied by a similar crew. In fact, your boat is almost the same as Captain Briggs, with the difference of some tons of weight and a meter or two long are embarrassing. Both of you. Morhouse has made rapid progress, though turning towards Portugal, about four hundred miles from

22:07 the Azores. At latitude thirty- eight degrees north with twenty minutes and longitude seventeen degrees with fifteen minutes. He' s run into an area of calm. The wind blows light. In fact, you have to deploy all the sails so that your boat can move forward with some calmness. Captain Morhause' s ship is none other than that of Grace, the grace of God, a wooden ship equally a sailboat. Morhouse' s taken good care of him.

22:48 Your crew is a long- time crew. They' re not new people, none of them. Crewing a sailing boat in the Atlantic requires very experienced people and Morhouse knows it. Perhaps this surprised him so much that midday of December 5th, when the distance was about six or eight miles away. One of the sailors reports that he' s seeing a ship' s grove is a sailboat. It' s in the distance. There' s no difference between the body and the ship. Only the masts with the flared candles, that is, entangled, are not deployed. Captain Morhouse immediately thinks he must be a fool or someone who is not in a hurry in these latitudes with this wind so calm and sailing with the sails down surely not in a hurry. Still, he decides to take a look from the deck and using the on- board telescope. He is greatly struck by the fact that there is only one small sail that is deployed, but the movement of the ship is erratic. It moves by nodding and at the same time rolling, that is, to the sides unusually and making such an unusual nod. At a certain point, Captain Morhouse, from the place where he can observe, distinguishes

24:22 that there is a kind of small flag, a flag that he thinks is a warning sign. Normally, when a ship is in trouble, it displays a flag that different senses. It has, for example, a red flag means we are at risk. In this case it is a sharp white flag, which makes you think you have problems. Give the order to turn two points to starboard immediately, the helmsman begins to turn it. Ships aren' t agile. Sailboats take a long time in reaction. It would take him some time to get the bow lined up in the direction of that mysterious ship.

25:07 But as they get closer and closer. There is a feeling of distress both in Morhouse and Deveno, which is one of its crew members, and in Williamson, which is also one of the crew members. There is this feeling of distress. The marine guard, who has gone up to the gofa, which is above one of the masts, reports that he sees no activity on the deck. It' s very unusual. A ship with the sails thrown in the middle of the ocean, with this strange movement in such a calm climate, so rare, everything as they get closer, the worry becomes much more real because, indeed, when they are perhaps 500 meters to a half kilometer, with the different teams to see, there is nothing. The deck is empty, there' s no one, there' s no one up in the groves, there' s nothing. They bring this ship as close as possible, being about a hundred meters away. Clearly, there' s no one there. Despite the big screams, even though a bell rings, a whistle sounds, there is no answer. Finally, Morhouse orders three of his men to ride in the small boat they have on board and row until they reach that boat. The people who board the boat around 3 p m that day are sailor Devon, sailor Gright and sailor Johnson, it' s difficult to row in the open sea, but they finally get there as soon as they get on the deck. There' s a weird feeling about

26:40 that. There' s such strange silence on board. All you can hear is the rustling of the ship' s wood. When he heads and moves. Both seamen who have gone up start walking down the deck. There' s not much to see. The hatches are open. The lazaret that is to give input to the load is open, but no damage is seen. Some of the different portillas have a protection that is used for storms, a canvas protection, but they are open. As he approaches the area of the main mast, where the Achique bombs are, he observes that one of the bombs is outside signal that someone has been measuring the water in the lower part of the boat. There were no airtight ships. The wooden ships could not be airtight. You could always put in a little water and you had to be checking constantly if you weren' t filling up to pump. It' s lying there as they move on. They realize other details. For example, as they reach the front and enter the area where the cabins of the sailors were, they find that everything is in place. There' s the sailors' trunks. There are three trunks. One of them is that of the Lorenz brothers in which they used one for the two, the other is that of the other German sailor and the other is that of Gotleb After, behind a door where is the room shared by the second officer and the surcharge.

28:15 They find that there are also their marinery sacks. But what draws their attention the most is that there is no one and yet the clothes of the storm are hung. In the usual places. No sailor would risk going out in a storm without wearing the right clothes, but they' re hanging there. Beyond that, there are provisions in the kitchen for many days. Some are a little down, especially the fruits there reveal that they already have some time, but everything is complete. No shortage of supplies. When they check the freshwater tanks, they have a very reasonable amount of fresh water. When they check the dry ones, the flours, it' s all there.

29:03 There was no food on the table or anything. The junks that have probably been used during breakfast are in a suitable place and are not lying on the floor. They are placed, that is, that someone took the food here and then was given the task of cleaning those junks and putting them in place. The different elements are also there. The only thing here is no one. When they go towards the back of the ship, towards the cabin of the captain, they barely enter the sensations equally obnoxious. They check around here and there' s no one there. They check one side, check another.

29:45 They realize that under the Captain' s bed gift there is a sword in his holster. It' s there, there' s hung a series of things typical of a captain in the first officer' s room they find that there' s even a navigational charter that has been noted as the last date of his navigation, November 25th in the morning. They also find other navigation cards out there. They find some elements that would serve to navigate. When they climb to the deck where the rudder is, the wheel of the rudder, they realize that something is missing and is the compass of the rudder. The compass box of the helmsman is broken, it' s lying on the floor and over there on one side it' s thrown. They realize that there is no lifeboat, but I must be a man of many years who has sailed in many places and has captain capacity, but has no certificate.

30:44 He observes a detail that few people would observe and his first impression is that there was no boat there, because the posterior fishers, which is where they usually hang a boat, whether it is a lifeboat or a communication fool a boat, the fishers have the ropes with which they would get off or get on a boat, they have them tied to the fisherman himself. It ' s a precaution when you don' t take the boat there a boat or the boat comes out so these ropes aren' t whipping and they' re gonna hurt something, tie them to the fisherman. The ropes are tied, which means that a lifeboat didn' t come down that way. The rest of the ship is in good condition. When they start checking through this hole where the bilge pump goes and they check the depth of the water down well, it has about three or four feet of water. You' ll think it' s a lot. No, not really that. It can easily be pumped. The bombs were in good condition. It could be pumped in just a little while and the water corresponds to the amount of water that would enter simply by the swell, not even by a storm, simply by the swell that splashes and gets into these doors that are open. But what intrigues them most is that there' s no one, nothing in the captain ' s cabin. There are clothes, there are all the elements in the

32:15 cabin of the crewmen at the front. It' s all there. There ' s no shortage of things. The charge is complete. Checking looks good No problem. But also, why were all the candles down, why they had been tied in place, why they were not deployed. Some reason had motivated this, but in addition, there is no data from where an intelligent sailor, an experienced sailor who has to leave a ship, may have gone when the ship is in its last moments, when there is no other choice. Abandoning a boat on the high seas and getting on a small rowing boat is suicide how much and more than the big boat that must carry a boat never got off or didn' t bring it down or didn' t bring it down. There are enormous doubts. As half an hour or forty minutes go by, they find the logboard. It' s not exactly a log book. It' s a tablet where they write down things of the day with some kind of chalk. The hourly reports and then pass it to the main log and it' s already registered. This is a tablet. When they saw her, they realized that they had done very well. They had had an eight- knot journey going very fast. The last record, however, is very far from the place where they found the ship, about six

33:46 hundred miles away, very close to the island of Santa Maria in the Azores, but now they are much further north. This ship has been drifting for a long time. Taking into account the records on the cards that were hung. These people were carefully recording their advances and there they stop. On 25 November, when they return to the boat and Gracia Morhouse is waiting for them, as soon as they arrive, they begin to report how they have found that boat completely adrift all empty with no one and the fear that this causes them panic. Morhouse asks there are signs of violence, no, there is nothing, everything is in order. A clear sign of violence would be a broken door, clothes, blood, weapons something, nothing, everything is in order, Captain. But when Morhouse asks what the name of that boat is, he can' t help but feel a horrible chill and a feeling that makes him sit in his chair with a drop of sweat running down their foreheads, because it' s Captain Breaks' boat from his friend who had just had dinner a few days ago in early November in New York. The name of that ship is the Sea and Celeste and there is no one on board

35:30 Captain Briggs would sit for a long time, not knowing exactly what, what to do, where they are, why they are not there, where Soffi is and where Sara Ny is no one is alive, I insist alive, on board that ship. The sailors who went up are emphatic. There' s no one on board. After discussing what to do. Finally, the crew of Gracia decides to share crews, that is, to send a group of men who board the sea and sky and sail it to Gibraltar. The crew is divided, which is very dangerous, because, moreover, these ships, although small in case of a storm, come to occupy all the people who have on board all the hands so that dividing it is risky, but they cannot tow it. You can' t tie him up and tow him with a sailboat. The only option is to split the crews and so they do. After spending most of the night repairing the boat, fixing sails, fixing ropes, placing here and there, fixing the compass, reducing the water from the cellars, the boat is perfectly navigable. There are provisions, only some fresh provisions are shared, and they start sailing. The boat sails perfectly,

37:01 so perfectly that the distance to reach Gibraltar is delivered in just seven days. On the 12th of December of one thousand eight hundred seventy- two, the DEI Gracia enters the port, accompanied by the sea and Celeste, whose entire crew has disappeared. Upon arrival at the port in Gibraltar, Morhouse reports the finding of the ship is a recovery. The Law of the Sea says that whoever recovers a sinister ship on the high seas deserves a reward and claims the reward. He hopes it will be a huge reward, because the cargo on the ship is very valuable. However, the people who are there are from the English Government. The British Vice Admiralty is there in Gibraltar and the first thing they think is that that dirty game starts an interrogation investigation, notes are taken. A cocrain last name judge is the one who wears all this.

38:07 There' s a prosecutor who certainly doesn' t believe what they' re telling him. They' re afraid that the Morhouse crew actually took the boat by storm, killed the crew and the captain just to get a big reward. The investigation would become chaotic, because when the prosecutor finds the sword, he claims that it is stained with blood, the captain' s sword. But he has also found a number of marks on the bow that reveal that there was an attempt to attack or that by the way they made the cap marks to make it look like an accident. He also claims that there is a blood mark on the deck. However, the report also includes a thorough inspection by divers who ensure that the helmet has no damage. Be perfect condition The situation is getting complicated for the Morhouse crew. It' s a very serious accusation. A crime of piracy in Altamar can cost them their lives and will not cost them their lives in a long time. The decisions are made very quickly here. The American Consul of the United States intervenes and with him another investigation results in the captain' s sword not being stained with blood, simply rusty. But the place where the sword was found reveals that there was no conflict, did not try to get it out of the place, did not try to do anything. In another of the spaces are other elements

39:38 that included three or four swords weapons that would be used to defend the ship and did not even move them. The blood stain out there on the deck supposedly was actually a grease stain. There was no such thing. The U S Attorney' s investigation, which sent a series of experts, revealed nothing. The boat was completely clean. There had been no battle there, there had been no struggle. He had simply disappeared all his life from the ship. The questions were so many why Captain Briggs had his sails down. He was under arrest. He had stopped his ship, the anchor was in place.

40:24 He had not tried to anchor The ship had the anchor in its well - secured place, which reflected that he had not tried to anchor. It is likely that it had a very favorable wind and that is why only one of the sails was deployed. Probably in November there had been some moments of weather and good winds. One of the researchers suggested that maybe he was sailing with only half the sails. Another suggested that he might have stopped. S American hypotheses began to emerge, when in the Americans they showed that there had been no dolo. Judge Cocrein authorized a rather miserable reward. It did not even reach one fifth of the value of the burden, which it offered them as a reward, but they finally took it because what followed was another investigation and risked their lives. The ship remained in Gibraltar for a few days until a new crew took charge of carrying the cargo to Genoa to amaze everyone.

41:28 The cargo was intact from a thousand seven hundred and one barrels that were stored. Only nine were scattered empty. Among the seven hundred there were nine voids, which was perfectly normal. The barrels were made of wood. They had a very thin liquid that could easily escape the barrels. So the fact that only nine were empty meant that the ship had not faced a severe storm, why they had abandoned it, why they were not there. Finally, the ship returns to the United States, where it is very badly seen, very badly seen. The fact that the ship appeared without a crew made it considered a cursed ship. The hypotheses about what happened good are all about it.

42:22 There were those who claimed that pirates had boarded him and would have disposed of the crew. It is true that by 1, 80, 70 there were still some acts of piracy, especially in the Azores region, and a small boat a little slow like this, which was not a clipper. It would probably be an ideal target, but at the same time, it would have been a very absurd thing for pirates, after attacking the ship, not to have taken the cargo, not even to have stolen the sailors' trunks where their savings were. Their money was money, they wouldn' t have taken the food. It didn' t make sense. But besides, a pirate attack doesn' t run out of anything else. There would have been some fighting. The captain was fighting for his life and the life of his wife and daughter. At least he would have taken the sword and offered some resistance, which he didn' t do. None of the sailors. He did that because there was no sign of violence. Another theory claimed that the captain, in panic, would have decided to leave the ship thinking he was sinking.

43:36 Even though they had to go in a small boat that was what the famous Yola had left, I would have decided to abandon it because of the fear that it was sinking. But it doesn' t make sense. Captain Briggs was a man who had been at sea for more than twenty years. I knew perfectly well the secrets of a wooden ship. He would never have risked leaving a bar he wasn' t sure was sinking from. And that by the naked eye, you could tell he wasn' t sinking. The water there was minimal, it was not remotely at risk of sinking. So, it didn' t make sense. But even if they had abandoned him, they would have left him wearing protective clothing, for example, these waterproof clothes, would have prepared abundant water supplies, something could not have been seen that they had escaped. In panic they had left the sails down, which meant that they had had the time to stop the ship or, at least, to slow down. There was also the possibility that a storm, a sea storm would have surprised them, a sea snake would have surprised them and in panic they would have left the ship thinking that it was unlikely that a giant squid would have eaten them one by one. In that sense, this was the worst of all, because if the crew were all covered up,

45:09 very happy and there appeared an Atlantic scapiollis or a Mesonicoteutis deus and held one with a tentacle, the others would instinctively have run under cover. The ship had two decks, the top deck to the bottom deck. Obviously, they would have run hiding there or they would have taken swords and fought something. But, besides, how he took the whole crew one by one all. At the same time there was someone who proposed a very strange theory, claiming Briggs had ordered a side platform to be built on the ship to be able to see his daughter and his wife Swimming made no sense. Briggs wouldn' t have allowed his wife and daughter to go swimming in the sea or crazy.

46:04 It was very risky. Besides, they were in a hurry with the money. It was important to be early on a major trip. It wasn ' t a walk, it was a business trip. The other thing that was said was the mutiny on board. The legend of the sea and Celeste says that Captain Briggs and his beautiful wife, on their wedding trip, were attacked by corrupt sailors. Legend had it that the sailors were people who had found on the street, literally drunk from the street that while on board, they drank the alcohol from the barrels and burning with desire and whisky. They had attacked the captain' s wife after killing him, then killing her and then killing each other among themselves and ending up in chaos. Another legend considered the possibility that the sailors had killed the captain the woman had done horrible things.

46:57 Then Richardson had been killed. The first trade and then the survivors had assembled in the small boat and had fled. It makes no sense anywhere, because the boat was carrying industrial alcohol. Whoever takes it goes blind. That same day. Point two, it wasn' t his young wife nor was it the honeymoon trip. The wife was Sarah caf, a perfectly serious, quiet and quiet Puritan woman who didn' t leave the cabin. Point two, the four German sailors were going home because they had to go back, they had things to look forward to, they wanted to get there. They were not going to be doing barbarities at half the sea and if they would have been mutiny on board. There were four German sailors against the captain and two officers, and the supercharge that they were of the company would have been defended and there were no signs of this Finally, if they had mutined, it is very likely that they would have sought to stay somewhere near a port to declare the sinking of the ship and save their life. A mutiny on board meant the death of the mutineers. Just as simple as that why they hadn' t done it, why there were no blood marks, because there was no violence, because the bed was lying, he didn' t apply the mutiny, they went crazy and jumped into the water. Everyone didn'

48:29 t make much sense either. There is a theory that claimed that they had eaten something, that it had hurt them and that it had made them crazy and they had ended up jumping madly in the water. Something like paradoxical hypothermia or paradoxical nudity during hypothermia, than in the middle of the cold. People undress something like that, but there was no proof of that. So much so that on the crew that the Day, Thank you, shares them, eats the supplies and arrives well to their destination. So, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But not something. What very few of me repaired is that the cat wasn' t there either. Now he wants me to tell him the other story about the Sea and Celeste. We ' re gonna start 12 years ago. The ship began to be built in a thousand eight hundred and sixty on Spencer Island, Novascocha, Canada, further north of New York, at a site known as the Spencer Bay shipyards.

49:43 It was the first ship they built. They had made a society the inhabitants of the area to build a shipyard and build ships. The wood came from an island and the works were done on Spencer Island. The ship was conceived as a slightly smaller one ship. It began to work very hard and would be up to one thousand eight hundred sixty- one when it is put to first detail its name. The original name of the boat was Amazon La Amazona, not Sea Celeste. The Amazon began sailing in one thousand eight hundred sixty - one. In June of one thousand eight hundred and sixty- one he would make his first journey. It was a trip across the Atlantic. I ' d take wood to London, but just finish loading. Captain Robert Macleyland falls seriously ill when they take him back to Spencer Island, with the idea of staying there for a few days and resting. As soon as the first captain arrives on the first voyage of the first ship of a shipyard. He dies without being able to deliver the cargo. After this, the boat starts sailing, gets into a new captain. The crew reorganises and sails, but as soon as it is leaving the bay where it was anchored, it is entangled with the nets of two fishing boats, which sink. It is not

51:17 clear whether the crews of the fishermen survived or not. What is clear is that the ship took the nets and sank the boats after making the trip and arriving in London delivering its cargo. Everything seemed to be going well, but when it goes out, they decide to cross the Dover Strait, where they run into another sailboat in front of which you rammed to free. The other sailboat crosses the path, avoiding the path of the Amazon. And this generates a crash that sends down in minutes to the other sailboat. The crew survives when they are rescued, but not all are told that the captain of the other sailboat also left to do, who would spend several months in repair and eventually return to the United States. The ship works well during the following years, even though it is a ship marked by death. Work well, Make numerous trips, Travel to the Western Indies, go and come, do and undo, but the boat itself is not very profitable for the owners. It doesn' t leave good dividends. Apparently, the captain had some tricks.

52:30 Perhaps for that reason, in one thousand eight hundred and sixty- seven they decide to change the captain. The captain was a last name guy. Thompson Thompson angry on the street. The boat takes him against a rocky area and near Cape Breton, on the Atlantic coast, tweezers him against the rocks. That' s where the boat stays. The Amazon was severely damaged. It ' s been a while. This guy can' t be charged. It was simply an accident, of course he knew he was already going to be discharged and crazed, he himself took his boat against the rocks. The Amazon would be rescued, sold for misery and owned by a last name subject.

53:16 Hans Hains would hire a number of technicians and people who would remodel the ship and adapt it, make it a new boat. Since the Amazon had declared itself to be a total loss and the insurance had been charged, some small pieces of paper had to be fixed around here and some little things had to be changed over there to change its name and it would now be put afloat with a new name, The Mary Celeste, the Queen of Heaven. Of course, Himes would never be able to sail on his ship. Shortly after the repairs were completed and in the middle of the bacle that had meant the expenses, the ship would be embarrassed. The debts were so many that he could not pay them and before he could sail on his first trip, Hans was bankrupt and bankrupt he was seized, lost all his assets, took him off the ship and ended up hitting himself in the head. The boat was then put up for sale. An auction was made and the man who bet the best amount was h R Winchester, the owner of the ship company, who ordered that this beautiful boat, which was very neglected, whose repair had been precarious, be remodeled the sea and celestial would be subjected to a total refurbishment, its cargo hold would be expanded, a second deck would be added, new rooms would be placed for the captain and with the contribution of money

54:49 from Captain BENJAMINSR. Briggs became a beauty, but he was a cursed ship. His first captain had died on his first trip. He had sent Pique a ship on his first trip had brought the company to ruin. He had brought Hans to ruin and his name had been changed. The old Seas Act says that the name of a ship is not changed, and less so when it is to make a fraud with the authorities, anyway, after delivering the cargo and returning to the United States, the ship would continue to work, but it was not an easy boat. The crew, the crews were afraid.

55:40 It would take some time and it would not be until a thousand eight hundred and seventy- four when I would sail again. Winchester would decide to sell it. He didn' t keep it again. He would sail again from one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four to one thousand eight hundred and seventy- nine, apparently in a normal way, or at least that is what is believed. The reality is that before that period of time ended, Captain Tthill, a new captain, would die on board. Yes, on his first trip, the new captain would die of sickness as he set sail began to feel bad. He was taken down on an island where he would die two days later. He was the third captain to die on board on his first trip. Don' t lose sight of the fact that the three captains had died on their first trip, but the ship was still not finished there. During the following months he would spend a long season anchored or moored in a port. No one wanted to get on, no one wanted to give it a load. Of course, no contractor would dare carry it.

56:55 What' s more, the dockers weren' t going to fall for it. Finally, he would sail again, changing from port to port near Boston. I would be able to sail the Sea and Celeste again, despite all the problems. However, it was not a big deal and, besides, it was a boat that was already old, it was mistreated. They hadn ' t looked after him. He wasn' t taken care of by the pretty girl She wasn' t a pretty girl anymore. Suddenly the captain decides it' s a good time to do business. Agreeing with the owners. They carry an economic load, an ordinary load, secure it as if it were a very expensive load and send the ship to Port- au- Prince Haiti. There, Captain Parker deliberately silences the ship against reefs to claim insurance.

57:50 But he makes a serious mistake. While in Haiti, he recovers some of the cargo and in an inexplicable variance, you sell it to the North American consul, the American consul, who buys it for five hundred dollars. But when he realizes what it is immediately reports that the merchandise that was on board the sea and celestial was not valuable. The insurance company conducts an investigation and determines that there is an insurance fraud. Although Captain Parker isn' t prosecuted and convicted for it. The reality is that three months after the sea and Celeste ran aground, Captain Parker is dead. Your partner. In that misdeed, a shot has been shot in the head and the third member of this tertia ends up crazy in a psychiatric ward and dies within a year.

58:39 The wreck of the Sea and Celeste would end up in the shallow waters near Haiti, where no one would remember it if it were not, because it had a terrible curse on board. What happened to Captain Briggs, what happened to Sophia, to Sarah Cauf, to Richardson, to the Germans. It will never be clear but what it has been not only took the crew, but also the cat. Few people repair that detail, but the fact that the cat was not on board the boat meant that whatever attacked the ship left nothing alive on board. Pirates wouldn' t have done that. They would have abandoned the ship in urgency, as has been suggested, they would have taken the cat. No. Another theory explaining the disappearance of the crew claimed that Sarah and Sophia had fallen overboard. Captain Briggs had launched himself to retrieve them, to protect them from the deck. Richardson and the others would have tried to pick them up with some, but the rail would have broken and they would have fallen into the sea or slipped and they would all have fallen into the sea as the ship sailed and drifted away. That doesn' t make sense. It makes no sense for several reasons. First, because there

1:00:15 would be at least one of the broken rails there would be a rope tied up hanging around there would be something. But besides, Captain Briggs wouldn' t have allowed his daughter to be at risk. It had no logic anywhere. So far, hundreds of theories have tried to explain what happened to the sea and the sky, what happened to the crew. Amazing stories have been invented. False witnesses have appeared everywhere until Sir Arthur. With Andoy he wrote him a novel that was interpreted as true, as if it were the real thing and it was a novel. The wrong name has been written many times Sea Celeste was written just as Sea Celeste with igrega has been written as Sea Celeste Marie has been written in a thousand ways. There are mistakes everywhere, but what is a fact is that today, almost one hundred and fifty years after those events, the celestial sea remains a mystery. In a time of technology, in a time when we have satellites, spacecraft, people walking plans to go to Mars, today the celestial sea is still a cursed ship.

1:01:46 After talking about this classic mystery case, what do you think if we send greetings and congratulations. First of all, Blanca, Islas Blanca, greets her mother Magdalena Ortega Molina and her brothers Erick Les, her children Angel Ailine, her husband.
