I seem to remember some tidbit that dispelled that one, but I can't remember why. It's just as plausible as sea quakes & tornadoes, in my mind anyway

If that makes any sense at all. It does. You get caught up in the mystery of the unknown, which is fun, I'm sure. I however get annoyed, the longer a mystery goes unresolved, with how ridiculous the conjecture gets, like the Loch Ness Monster Would somebody solve that crap finally! Yeah, the sheer number of people who still cite photos of the Loch Ness Monster that have been proven to be fake as irrefutable proof of its existence is mind-boggling.

I was fascinated with the story of the Mary Celeste when I first read about it, and really it was a bit of a disappointment to hear the perfectly plausible 'evacuation because of alcholol fumes' theory instead of something more supernatural. But at the same time I'm still glad there's an answer, because I hate things like this not having an explanation I'm the opposite actually. It centers my reality to find out the realistic possibilities of things like supposed "Ghost" ships & such. Plus it's still very gripping, given that they were likely taking a very sensible precautionary action by evacuating, but it somehow went horribly wrong I'm sort of in the middle on that.

If that makes any sense at all. you always make sense aw, I'm not sure about always But thank you

Good movie, includes actors Gabriel Byrne, Julianne Margulies and Karl Urban. As director James Cameron himself said, he didn't want to make 'just another disaster movie', especially as there are enough movies already about the sinking of the Titanic, which is why 3/4 of the movie is a love story (and who's to say it didn't happen ??) We both love Titanic, it conveys some of the grandeur and luxury that the ship was designed for, and that theme song by Celine Dion is pretty much about our situation generally (either side of the pond). As for the Mary Celeste........
