Rather Pompous Speculation

This short film by Jacques Tourneur tells the story of the Mary Celeste, the famous ghost ship. It tell of her voyage, leading up to the disappearance of all on board and speculation of what happened. It is a mere presentation of the usual thoughts as to what happened. It lacks a whole lot of new material. Still, it was interesting to watch.

So what happened to the Mary Celeste?

One of the great mysteries of the sea is given documentary treatment in this short subject. The Mary Celeste, a cargo ship bound for the South Seas sets sail from New York in 1872. The ship with cargo intact in the holds and no signs of any kind of struggle at all, the food still in the galley and warm. Just no people on it.

Somebody made a nice salvage haul of it. Bur speculation abounds to this day.

I even saw an early Dr. Who episode that said it was the Daleks who were responsible. Wait a minute, that was the Hesperus. That's how far afield the speculation goes to this day.

See the film and see if you can come up with an explanation.

unsatisfying real-life mystery

This is MGM presents An Historical Mystery from John Nesbitt. The Mary Celeste sails off in 1872 from the port of old New York City. Whether it's the superstition of a woman on board or something more sinister, the ship is found fourteen days later without a soul in sight. The crew has simply vanished.

This short is ten minutes long. It asks a few questions, but it has no good answers. It's a real-life mystery without an easy fictional solution. It's unsatisfying. My theory is space aliens. That's where this should have gone. Space aliens teleported the crew onto their spaceship. Where? I know.

Companion piece to The Phantom Ship

Ship That Died, The (1938)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Interesting and mildly amusing short film from director Jacques Tourneur about the mystery surrounding the Mary Celeste, which was a ship found in 1872 without a trace of its crew. Hammer's film The Phantom Ship did a better job at showing one possibility of what might have happened but this film is pretty good. It shows two different things that might have happened to the crew but the too cheerful narration doesn't help the subject matter.

This one here shows up on Turner Classic Movies a couple times each year so keep your eyes open.

The Mary Celeste

It's been almost a century and a half since the Mary Celeste was found floating, deserted but in good operating order, by the Canadian ship the Del Gratia. No one is sure what happened to her, although that has not stopped endless pontificating on what must have happened. Given that it's not known what the passenger list was -- there may have been a child on board; maybe not, and everyone is long dead, who can say?

John Nesbitt sounds hysterical in this episode of his long-running MGM series, THE PASSING PARADE. Given the subject and its mystery, that's not terribly surprising. Given that he usually wrote his own copy for the series -- or at least took credit for it -- he probably misjudged.

The narrator states the ship is at 370 North latitude and 18 West longitude. While the longitude meridian is in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (The Prime Meridian, 0 degrees, runs through Grenewich, England.), there is no such thing as 370 latitude. Lines of latitude run from 0 to 90 degrees, from the Equator to the Poles.
