What this book is about
Yolen's picture book for older readers presents the true mystery of the Mary Celeste — the American brigantine found abandoned and drifting in the Atlantic in 1872, with no crew aboard and no explanation for their disappearance. Evidence, witness accounts, and theories are laid out for readers to evaluate. An excellent introduction to historical mysteries and evidence-based reasoning.
