Sometime after Friday, Nov. 14, 1873 is the date when the fictitious Marie Celeste was found. The imaginary brigantine in question surfaces as the setting for maritime crimes and mysteries in the short story J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement. The fictionalized account tells readers of the first paragraph that Captain Dalton's Dei Gratia towed the derelict ship Marie Celeste from latitude 38 degrees 40' North, longitude 17 degrees, 15' West into the Mediterranean Sea port of Gibraltar in December 1873.
The Mary Celeste was found on December 5, 1872. The ship was discovered abandoned in the Atlantic Ocean with no crew on board. The mysterious circumstances surrounding its abandonment have never been fully explained.
