Mary Celeste was quite small Brigandine ship, which gained noteriety after he crushed and been found by another ship. What is so interesting about it? Ships in those times got lost very often, becasue there wasn’t so highly developed technology to follow them. This case is different. When sailors of the other boat got on deck of Mary Celeste they were suprised, cause the ship was abandoned. The sails were torn, and some of the hatches leading under the deck were open. However, there was no trace of the crew. All their private belongings were there, and people seemed to disappear. Another interesting thing is that the abandoned ship drifted for 9 days (the last entry in the logbook was on November 25), covering 740 km during this time until it was found by the crew. Ship has on its deck a lot of barrels with spirit, but when they found Mary Celeste 9 of them was empty. The most logical theory is that the crew smelled evaporating spirit smell and decided to escape, because in t

  Bermuda Triangle which is also called Devil's triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where ships and planes disappear. There are many legends about this part of the world, but the most known is a airplane disaster in 1954. Five bomb planes disappeared from radar off the coast of Florida. One of the planes sent to the rescue also vanished. Flight tower informed that the last words of cabine crew was  "We don't know where the west is, (...) we're not sure of the directions ... Everything is wrong ... Strange ... The ocean doesn't look like it should."   Those words sounds a little bit disturbing nad strange. The strangeness of this place is emphasized by other similar accidents eg.:  1840 - the French sailing ship "Rosalie" appeared, the crew was never found;  1872 - another abandoned sailing ship, "Mary Celeste", was found;   1909 - Joshua Slocum with his yacht is missing;   https://www.youtube.com/wa

Ben Lecomte was the first man who managed to swim across the Atlantic Ocean. 16 th. July 1998   he set off from Cape Cod taking 8 swimming suits, fins, a shark deterrent and a snorkel for swimming underwater. His goal was to swim on the way from Hyannis, Massachusetts to Brest in France (including a one-week stop in the Azores.) During his   73- day journey, when he swam 5,980 km, he was accompanied by a sailboat. Crew was making him 6 dishes per day for around   7.000-8.000 calories. He overcame the waves and strong winds. There was also a big shark, which was following him 9 meters under surface. Why did he do that? He wanted to raise money for cancer research as a tribute to his father. But after 20 years he began his swim of the Pacific Ocean. Ben started in Japan and was hoping to swim to California, but after 1,700 miles heavy wind broke the boat and swimmer decided to cancel the journey for his and sailor’s safety. The purpose of this single journey was to get people’s a
