A painting of the brlgantine "Mary Celeste." one of the mystery ships of the Atlantic. was recently loaned to the Fort Beausejour Museum by Mr. R L. Dewis. of West Advocate. Nova Scotla. The paintingls thework of a French

and shows the- "Mary ’ entering the harbour of Marseilles, France, on November 6th, 1861.

The story of the “Mary Celeste" has been written, dramatized and made into a mc-tiou picture short but to this day no one has solved the mystery surrounding her. She was built by Joshua Dewis. grand- father of Mr. R. L. Dewis, at Spencer's Island. (Ximberland County. Nova Sootia. and launch- ed. l". 1R6’) w; thy:- “Amaren? Seven

years later she went ashore on the rugged coast of Cape Breton Is- land near Port Morien. Rte-floated and repaired she sailed again only to meet a similar fate on the coast of Maine.

An American Syndicate purchas- ed the grounded ship-made her sea worthy and changed her name to the “Mary Celeste." Taken to New York she was loaded with alcohol and set sail for Genoa on Novem- ber 7th. 1872. Her departure ivaa well remembered by the people on the dock at New York that Now. ember morning for there stood with them a. seventeen year old girl who had recently married First Mate Albert G. Richardson, a native of Maine, With tears in her eyes she stood there waving a fond good bye to her husband of less than a month. On board the "Mary Celeste" Captain Benjamin Briggs stood on the bridge locking out to sea while his wife and young daughter joined thee-First Mate in ‘waving farewell to the lonely girl on the dock At the brigantine spread her sails and disappeared from sight the spcciators and the young bride on the dock turned away little knowing that they had

The Mystery Of The ‘Mary Celeste”

' The Captain of the “Die Graiia‘ was not. troubled _ the mystery, the seas abound with them, so no took the "Mary Celeste" iutu Gibraltar where she was maimed by a new crew.

After the ship had docked aq Gibraltar many stories were cir- culated as to what had happened. Since then many explanations of the mystery have been offered, The most generally accepted belief to- day is that on some morning be- tween the 25th of November and the 4 of December. while the "M Celeste" was sailing along nulety and the Captain and hi: family were at breakfast, there was was a terrific explosion. This ex- nlosion may have resulted from an accumulation of alcoholic fumes in the Ziold. To account for the blood no the hat-ch cover and the sword,

it is thought. that a sailor must have been near the hatch with a. sword inhis hand when the ox- plosion threw the hatch cover up at him causing the sword m pierce hi8 body. It is further supposed that the suddenness or! the ex. plosion created a panic and in a. few moments everyone including the Captain and his family were crowded into a single boat and lowered into the sea, the rail having been broken in the rush. As they pulled away from the ‘Mary 3919536" with itreat haste expect- 1118 that she would instantly be blown to the winds by further git: 6x91051111“. a stiff breeze sprang up and carried her away.
