Deliberate decisions not to retrieve the half brig in question explains Mary Celeste's going missing. The hermaphrodite brig in question was alleged by crewmen to have been grounded deliberately, on Thursday, January 3, 1885, under Captain Gilman C. Parker's orders, onto the Rochelais Reef off Haiti. The part barkentine part schooner in question was allowed to sink under its own weight and that of the subsequently artificial, shanty-supporting, shell-built isle, for re-discovery on Thursday, April 5, 2001, by marine archaeologist Clive Cussler and professional divers John Davis and Mike Fletcher.

Were there pirates on 'Mary Celeste'?
It is not known whether or not there were pirates on the half brig Mary Celeste. Piracy numbers among the twentieth and twenty-first century reconstructed scenarios for why the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen were missing when the hermaphrodite brig was discovered yawing between the Azores and Portugal in December 1872 by the captain and crew of Dei Gratia. But little other than some documentation was known to have been missing from the part barkentine part schooner -- whose load of cargo, equipment and personal possessions otherwise was left intact -- so piracy would have occurred for abducting or massacring the Mary Celeste 10 and stealing items not admitted by owner James Winchester to have been on board Mary Celeste.
