Episode 172: The Cursed Brigantine Mary Celeste

Let's Get Haunted

SKIP TO 00:11:37 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY!

On December 4th, 1872 an abandoned ship known to be cursed was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship appeared perfectly sound, possessed a full cargo, and even had enough provisions in the galley to sustain a crew for 6 months of sail... but what happened to her crew and captain? This week, Nat takes Aly across the Atlantic Ocean on a journey full of mystery and mayhem as she unravels the most confounding seafaring case from the Age of Sail. Hoist the colors and make yourself a drink- this one is a doozy!
