The 9.11 Mary Celeste
This morning as I was walking along, the thought came into my mind to check out the Mary Celeste against the usual two American ‘suspect’ dates.
The Mary Celeste had departed from New York on the morning of November 5th 1872 loaded with 1,709 barrels of grain alcohol bound for Genoa, Italy and 29 days later the British brigantine Dei Gratia saw the Mary Celeste sailing rather erratically about midway between the Azores and Portugal on December 4th 1872.
The look out told the captain of the Dei Gratia that he saw no crew on the Mary Celeste so the captain dispatched a boarding party led by 1st Mate Oliver Deveau. And Deveau's team reported that the ‘ghost ship’ was fully provisioned and perfectly seaworthy. It looked to them as if the crew of the Mary Celeste had launched a small yawl and abandon ship for no apparent reason.
The boarding party concluded that the Mary Celeste was in good sailing order. Although the small yawl, lashed on top of the main hatch, was gone. A section of railing running alongside was also removed to allow launching of the boat over the side. Deep cuts in the wooden railing and on top of the hatch, where the yawl had been stored, indicated that the crew had used an axe to cut the yawl loose rather than take the time to untie it properly. The evidence was clear, Captain Briggs and his family and crew had abandoned the Mary Celeste in a big hurry.
So it seems that sometime after 8am in the morning on the November 25th 1872 something dreadful happened on board the Mary Celeste causing an experienced master mariner to place his wife and 2 year old daughter and seven other adults besides himself into a yawl and hastily abandon the perfectly sea-worthy 103 foot 282 ton Mary Celeste. The Captain had to believe, as everyone else, that staying aboard the Mary Celeste was extremely dangerous. Five months later, five highly decomposed bodies were found tied to two rafts off the coast of Spain. One was flying an American flag. So was this fate of five crew members?
Actually the Mary Celeste was forced to anchor off Staten Island for two days waiting on the heavy seas to slacken and so it was November 7th 1872 when Captain Benjamin S. Briggs gave the order to hoist anchor. On board was the 37-year-old Captain, his 30-year-old wife Sarah Elizabeth, and their second child, two-year-old Sophia. Sophia. The named seven man crew consisted of 28-year-old First Mate Albert G. Richardson, 25-year-old Second Mate Andrew Gillings, and 23-year-old Steward and Cook Edward Head. The four Germans serving as seamen were Volkert Lorenzen, his brother Boz Lorenzen, Arian Martens, and Gottlieb Goodschaad. The crew’s clothing was left behind including their boots. There was no sign of fire or smoke damage anywhere on board the Mary Celeste. And there was no evidence that the ship had nearly capsized also her hull appeared in good condition and was described as ‘nearly new’.
However, there was some rather strange damage noted to the bow timbers down both sides of the vessel and John Austin, Gibraltar's Surveyor of Shipping, became highly suspicious of Mary Celeste’s slight damge. In his official report to the Court of Inquiry, he stated: "On approaching the vessel I found on the bow, between two and three feet above the water line on the port side, a long narrow strip at the edge of a plank under the cat-head cut away to the depth of about three eights of an inch and about one and a quarter inches wide for a length of about six to seven feet. This injury had been sustained recently and could not have been affected by weather or collision and was apparently done by a sharp cutting instrument continuously applied through the whole length of the injury. I found on the starboard bow but a little further from the stern of the vessel a precisely similar injury at the edge of a plank but perhaps an eighth or tenth of an inch wider, which in my opinion had been effected simultaneously and by the same means and not otherwise. However; as the Official Surveyor for this Court of Inquiry, I must profess intense bewilderment as to the tool used to cut such marks and why they would have been cut in any vessel at these locations."
So was the Mary Celeste mechanically lifted out of the water? Did it stay out of the water for say 6 hours before being mechanically replaced back into the sea?
But there was another explanation from Captain Winchester, one of the owners of the Mary Celeste, and he agreed with Captain Shufeldt, who had determined that the injury was actually splinters or splints that had popped off the wood, which had been steamed and bent to curve the bow when the boat was recently rebuilt. But as John Austin was an expert on damage to ships and he was bewildered and as he was bewildered, then something unusual seems to have happened to the ship. Especially, in that for some reason the ship shook so violently knocking her wooden compass stand over and breaking the compass housing and also caused the huge cast-iron galley stove to move out of its place. And then there has to be a reason that jarred the 1709 barrels of alcohol she carried, loosening the stays on nine barrels, so spilling some 283.5 gallons of raw alcohol, for when the cargo was unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels were found empty, and so 1700 barrels were full.
US Consul Sprague wrote, "This case of the Mary Celeste is startling, since it appears to be one of those mysteries which no human ingenuity can penetrate sufficiently to account for abandonment of this vessel and the disappearance of her master, family and crew."
One newspaperman of the time called the incident, "a detective story writer’s nightmare: the perfect perplexing situation without any logical solution, a plot which can never be convincingly unraveled."
And now to try to solve one of the greatest sea mysteries ever told by way of number crunching by using two Time Markers, that of American Independence Day, July 4th 1776 and 9.11 Day, that of September 11th 2001, when considered with November 25th 1872, the day the Mary Celeste was abandoned.
UFO of Horus?
Counting from July 4th 1776 to 12:03pm, noon time, November 25th 1872, is 96.395633 years and counting down from September 11th 2001 to 6pm November 25th 1872 is 128.7926040 years. And the multiplication of both periods and squared once x 3/800,000 is 578.
And the ‘Trilateral Insignia’ that is so called ‘Alien Flag’ on the side of the crashed UFO in the hanger of Area 51 (William Cooper) has the reference number 578 that of the Serpent, that is twice 289 or 17 x 17. And then there is the coincidence of the remaining 17,000 full barrels.
So I guess that a UFO that the site of a large UFO, a ‘mother ship’ descended and scared the living daylights out of everyone on board the Mary Celeste at noon time that mysterious day, so much so that a crew member could not wait to untie the yawl and so instead used an axe. In fact this could have happening has the UFO’s lifting gear was coming down to grab the Mary Celeste.
OK, now most Skeptics won’t run with the suggestion of a UFO spending six hours inspecting the Mary Celeste inside the UFO itself.
So to another calculation, that of 6pm November 5th 1872 when counting up from a moment after midnight of July 4th 1776 that is 96.3963123 years. And counting down from a moment after midnight September 11th 2001 to 6pm November 5th 1872 is 128.7926040 years.
And 96.3963123 years x 41.68627165 cubic feet, the internal volume of the granite sarcophagus in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, the ‘unused’ sarcophagus of the Ancient Egyptian falcon masked god Horus, x 128.7926040 years x 41.68627165 cubic feet x Pi x 9 is 610,000,000 and the reference number 61 is that of Horus.
Thus pretty accurately is the result where the two time periods each multiplied by ‘Death’ that is the sarcophagus, reveals 6pm November 25th 1872 the day the Mary Celeste was abandoned.
But even showing this, for me a quite incredible metaphysical deliberate design, the Skeptics won’t run with this calculation, especially as it involves September 11th 2001. So be it, and so I hope their anchor won’t take them down and down when their natural eyes close for the last time.
