ten days later,the crew of a ship that had sailed from new york about a week later than the mary celeste,saw it in the distance.when they caught up with it,they signalled to it but received no response.several of them then boarded the ship,only to find it unmanned and without a soul!there were no signs at all to explain what had happened the crew,the captain and his family had simply disappeared!they were never seen again and no one has ever been able to explain their disappearance.
