The Mary Celeste was built in 1861 in Canada. When it was launched .It was given the name The Amazon.
It was not a lucky ship. The first captain died a few days after it was registered and on its first voyage in 1862 it was
badly damaged in a collision. When it was repaired in port, it caught fire. In 1863 it crossed the Atlantic for the first
