The mysterious disappearance of ten souls would not be the last
of the misfortune to befall the ill-fated Mary Celeste. Insurance
fraud, lost revenue, madness, and suicide would all become
dreadful notches in the gunwale of her sad history, along with
the premature deaths of three of her captains. Whether you
believe in curses or not, often the best insurance is to leave
fate untempted.

Tonight’s Quote:

“The sea has never been friendly to man. At most, it has been the
accomplice of human restlessness.” — Joseph Conrad,
novelist
