Okay, so I was reading through Gizmodo of all places and came across an excerpt from this book. So now I'm sitting here wondering wtf happened to the Mary Celeste. I wish I had never read it. I will never know for sure. ARRG! ><

I say it was pirates. And marmots. Marmot pirates...
there are so many more puzzling stories of disappearing ships and or staff. Not to take away from the validity of your post but Im surprised it even caught your eye. Havent heard this tale but in much grander scale? I mean all the Bermuda triangle incidents, planes that never were found, in the sea, or the air, at least in this instance the ship was found.
i didn't seek it out, i just stumbled upon it. i'm sure there's crazier puzzling stories in the book, but this was the one that the author allowed to be posted on-line. i think the point is not that it's a complete mystery where all we know is that stuff disappeared, but that there are so many facts and it still remains a mystery. i think it's crazy that the boat came back empty. lottsa boats sink or disappear, few keep on floating around unmanned. There is this japanese fishing boat in cananda that actually did just that. guy went out fishing in japan got tossed along the way and the boat ended up in canada.
On second thought I did a bit of research and the Mary Celeste seems to be very infamous. There may be crazier unmanned boat stories, I know Ive heard a few good ones, but they arent as easily discovered net wise, which for me says something. I guess Mary Celeste, like you said, had so much notoriety because of all the facts that they did have about it. I guess this story is much more mysterious than I initially gave it credit for.
