The Mary Celeste | 133

Published: April 15, 2019, 5:01 a.m.

Imagine this: You and your crew are traversing the Atlantic aboard your merchant ship. You spot something up ahead and grab the spyglass. Is that another ship? You call to the ship announcing your presence\u2026no response. Is there no one aboard? Where\u2019s the crew? You board the ship and things are silent. It\u2019s too quiet. Something isn\u2019t sitting right about this situation. There\u2019s a sewing machine with a baby\u2019s dress being sewn\u2026the hem is still mid-stitch. The log book\u2019s last entry? 10 days ago. Where did the crew go? What would cause them to abandon ship so abruptly without any signs of duress? Did they leave the ship willingly? What happened to the Mary Celeste \u2013 we investigate this week. Plus, David Flora of Blurry Photos Podcast makes his triumphant return once again. Conspiracy Bot pivots his game plan for Bot Booze. Brent circles back around on how C-Bot is paying for it. And we all learn that poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling are table stakes for any product the robot creates. All of that and more on the podcast that\u2019s never discovered a ghost ship, but took a Carnival Cruise once that was almost as scary \u2013 Hysteria 51.
