About this listen

One by one, they disappeared.

Step right up and come aboard the Mary Celeste, the most famous ghost ship in history, during our famous voyage across the Atlantic.

When the captain appears to be losing his mind, First Mate Richardson must risk insubordination to safely deliver the ship to the distant port of Genoa.

However, his problems don’t end there because he must also overcome storms, disease, a dangerous cargo and a mutinous crew who’re disappearing one by one.

Having already heard of the Mary Celeste ghost ship, an ominous foreboding looms over this spectral tale from start to finish, making it impossible to pause until you know how it ends. The plot is gripping throughout, with great characters and just a touch of humour for balance.

The narrator gives a great performance.

Gripping from start to finish.
