Record summary
The Mary Celeste was found deserted in 1872, long before the requested period, but it remained a frequently revisited maritime mystery in postwar occult books, anomalistic magazines, and supernatural anthologies. Proposed explanations have included weather, alcohol fumes, piracy, insurance fraud, and paranormal forces. The lead is relevant as a transmission-history study: a nineteenth-century unresolved case was repeatedly reframed for twentieth-century occult audiences. Researchers should focus on editions and authors published from 1947 to 1969 rather than treating the original mystery as a contemporary incident.
