Mary Celeste w/Stand (1/2 Gal. Bottle)
Mary Celeste w/Stand
(Click on the picture to view larger image.)

Originally launched in May, 1861 at Nova Scotia as the Amazon by Joshua Dewis, her mysterious reputation began on her maiden voyage when her captain died of pneumonia.  Two other captains died on her, & in 1867, she ran aground in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia during a storm.  Bought & rebuilt by NY investors, she was renamed Mary Celeste & became a merchantman to Adriatic ports.  On Nov. 5, 1872, Capt. Benj. Briggs left NYC with 1701 barrels of commericial alcohol intended for fortifying Italian wines.  The night before, Briggs dines with fellow Canadian captain David Morehouse of the brigantine Dei Gratia.  Their course & Mediterranean destinations were similar they discovered.  Morehouse left a week later & found the crewless & drifting Celeste on Dec. 4th.  The sextant, chronometer, & logbook were missing with the only lifeboat though all personal possessions & cargo were intact.  After an inquiry, cargo salvage rights of the derelict Celeste were granted, though with suspicion, to the Dei Gratia.  Her Boston owner sold her when his father died on her when she returned home.  Over the next 17 years, she had 13 owners...each having a jinx experience.  Her last owner, GC Parker, intentionally wrecked her off Haiti with an over-insured cargo of scrap, boots & cat food.  Arrested for fraud, Parker mysteriously dies before his trial.  Though theories abound about how the Celeste's crew disappeared, she remains the archetypal ghost ship carring a curse.

The 12-gun Ranger was the flagship of Charles Vane from May 1718 to Nov. 1718.  Blockading Charleston as Blackbeard had done several months earlier, Vane, with two sloops, captured an African slaver coming into port.  This larger ship he named the Ranger.  In late Nov. 1718 while in the Windward Passage,  Vane was charged with cowardliness by the crew for refusing to attack a vessel that was more heavily armed than the Ranger.  The vessel turned out to be a French Man of War disguised as a merchant to deal with pirates.  Vane & his supporters were set in a small boat, and after some time, Vane captured another sloop and continued "the sweet trade" until being caught in Jamaica in March 1720.  Ouartermaster "Calico" Jack Rackham was voted captain of the Ranger.  Later Calico Jack had onboard the two female pirates Mary Reade & Anne Bonny.  The ship was lost a few months after Calico Jack took command due to hull rot.  The pirates then aquired a sloop and were caught in Sept. 1720.
