Mary Celeste - Das Geheimnis des Geisterschiffs

A musical podcast about facts, myths and one of the greatest mysteries in maritime history

A ship drifts unguided across the Atlantic. Sails set, cargo intact, no traces of violence - and yet every single person on board is missing. In 1872, the "Mary Celeste" is discovered in the Atlantic - completely abandoned. The entire crew: missing. Without explanation, without farewell signs, without clues as to their fate. To this day, this case is considered one of the most mysterious events in the history of seafaring.

What really happened back then?
Was it an accident, a human error - or something that cannot be explained rationally? This podcast systematically gets to the bottom of the mystery of the "Mary Celeste". Instead of focusing on speculation, it works its way through the historical sources and carefully separates verifiable facts from later legends. The podcast impressively shows how an unsolved mystery gave rise to a myth that still fascinates people all over the world today. It invites you to take a closer look - and to become aware of how history is written, changed and passed on.
