  1. That was a very interesting and well written memory. Thank you.

  2. I had seen a documentary some years ago about the Mary Celeste that theorised it was carrying cargo that caused a type of explosion below deck - from the release of gasses: the crew jumped ship to a lifeboat, but stayed tethered to the ship while they assessed what to do next: the ship didn't catch fire and all seemed okay but, unfortunately, a prevailing wind caught the sails and sent the ship moving again. As it picked up speed the crew had no way of getting back aboard and either the lifeboat capsized or the rope snapped (or was cut to prevent it from capsizing), leaving them afloat in the ocean as the ship sailed into the distance.
