00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:07.839
He likes sea stories of course he
does. We love to think of those

2
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:13.919
people who were riding on a boat
and made to sea dangerously with sailboats without

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:22.440
engines with incredible value. It is
something that fills us with amazement today.

4
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.679
Of course, being a sailor is
still a very dangerous profession, even if

5
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.880
you sail on ships of thousands of
tons that would exceed any sailing boat ten

6
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.640
or twelve times in terms of length
and in terms of weight hundreds of times

7
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:48.280
we think of a modern boat of
great tonnage with about six hundred and fifty

8
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.799
thousand tons against a ship of about
six hundred tons that was a reasonable ship

9
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.679
of the seventeenth century. However,
it remains dangerous. Year after year,

10
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.680
many ships are lost throughout history.
It is very difficult to know a real

11
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.840
number of ships that have sunk even
in recent times. Perhaps the nearest list

12
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:17.159
of accidents and disasters is the list
of the insurance company OIDS in England,

13
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.640
but there are many others. So
it' s hard to know. But

14
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.480
year after year, hundreds of ships
disappear. Some of them don' t

15
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.640
leave any prints. A long time
later it is known what happened when the

16
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.599
assessments, when the search is shallow, etcetera. But few ships are left

17
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:44.760
in memory. There are certain iconic
facts that mark history and that remind themselves

18
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.799
of the extent to which if you
approach anyone and tell them titanic right away,

19
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.040
the memory of the greatest ship of
all time comes to them, the

20
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.359
worst maritime tragedy of all time.
Of course it' s not true,

21
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.439
but he kept that idea, the
picture of the pretty girl standing at the

22
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:08.599
boat test balancing with the gallanazo behind. I think it' s very deep.

23
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.800
But even though it wasn' t
the worst tragedy of all time,

24
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.800
nor was it the biggest ship of
all time, the idea stayed. There

25
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:24.000
is another that has remained like the
mysterious ship par excellence. And yes,

26
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.080
there' s a mystery behind it. Why don' t you stay with

27
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:38.240
me and we' ll keep an
eye on this. Tales of the dark

28
00:02:38.240 --> 00:03:00.840
side, strange beings, events,
is inexplicable versity fa stories that other minds

29
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.199
prefer to ignore. Let me take
you back in time. We' re

30
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.680
at the New York docks now.
It is the end of October of one

31
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.520
thousand eight hundred seventy- two.
They' re about to be one hundred

32
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.000
and fifty years old. At that
time, New York is leaping into modernity.

33
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.800
It' s an incredibly agitated city. In the port all the time

34
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.240
there is movement, ships that arrive, ships that leave the beep of the

35
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.800
first commercial steam ships that enter and
leave the port, the rhythmic movement of

36
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.639
the groves of the great sailboats that
constantly cross the Atlantic Ocean towards England or

37
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:50.120
even that go beyond, that go
towards the end of good hope and from

38
00:03:50.199 --> 00:04:00.000
there towards unknown regions of the South
Pacific. There are hundreds of ships with

39
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:08.840
those huge structures that make up the
masts and the bellamen. There' s

40
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.960
a cold morning in that October.
Towards the end of October, a man

41
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.399
walks along the shore of pier fifty
is a known subject. Before he got

42
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.959
there, he just passed by and
waved to another sailor over there on another

43
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.399
boat. He went on to talk
to someone in a forty- fourth street

44
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:34.600
office, Captain Breaks Benjamins Put Breggs. He' s a guy who goes,

45
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.079
doesn' t have blood in his
veins, carries sea water. His

46
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.879
father was the famous captain Neithan Briggs, his brother Oliver Bregus, his uncle

47
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:51.920
Jason Briggs, all of them captains
of high ships, the same at thirteen

48
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.480
years old was climbed on a ship
and he himself at thirty- seven years

49
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.920
old. Now, now that we' re watching him walk down this pier

50
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:09.120
full of bodega, fish smell,
steam. Now he' s a certified

51
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.920
captain. The years at sea have
borne fruit and this man has a captain

52
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:20.199
certification. All seas, all cargoes. It' s an important certification.

53
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:27.160
It' s very respectful. Not
everyone can get it. And right now

54
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.399
he' s heading for a new
commission. He' ll take care of

55
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.959
a boat. He' s been
aboard several ships over the years, but

56
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.600
this is the first time he'
s been a partner of the ship.

57
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.360
Thanks to a constant saving to the
good handling of money, Briggs has bought

58
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.720
a third of a ship. Of
course he' s a very serious man.

59
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:54.160
Briggs has earned the reputation of being
a reliable man. First of all,

60
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.399
that descendant of a Puritan family himself. He' s a very religious

61
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.319
man. When he is at home
in Kottage Rose, he usually attends the

62
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.800
church with real taste where he shares
as if he were one of the pastors.

63
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.160
He' s a very proud man. He usually wears his suit his

64
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.639
captain cap with real pride. Of
course, half his family dead from the

65
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.160
sea, as he' s not
going to be proud to be a survivor.

66
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:26.399
He has thought on several occasions that
perhaps he should move away to his

67
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.920
more than twenty years at sea.
Perhaps it would be wise to return to

68
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.680
land to be with his family.
But, as I say, he'

69
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.160
s a very serious guy. He
doesn' t do that kind of thing

70
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.000
that' s said about a love
in every port. Not him. He

71
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:47.480
lives in love with his wife Sarah
camp Sara the same, a girl of

72
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.480
Puritan origin, is the mother of
Arthur, his first son who is now

73
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.600
about seven years old and has a
little girl of just two years old.

74
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.839
Sophia is the pope' s madness. Everyone says she' s an equal

75
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.360
daddy is a little angel who jumps
and sometimes Briggs is very sad to get

76
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.759
home and not recognize him, he
feels sorry for that. But keep in

77
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.120
mind that sometimes a trip to Europe, for example, takes about a month.

78
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.560
But if you are, for example, in Spain or Portugal, you

79
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:27.519
go on a trip in the Mediterranean, from there you go to the Mediterranean

80
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.240
and sometimes three or four short routes
within the Mediterranean to one England, one

81
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.759
to Africa, one to New Zealand. And he left the whole year.

82
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:43.839
Of course, when he comes back, he comes back with an impressive income,

83
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.040
but almost no one remembers him at
home anymore. So you' ve

84
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.959
thought about it two or three times, but these thoughts are not in your

85
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:57.839
mind right now. As he walks
through that proud harbor of who Captain Benjaminsbuner

86
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.920
Briggs is, he watches the distance. Your boat isn' t exactly a

87
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.879
big boat, it' s a
cocksucker. It' s a ship that

88
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:16.000
must weigh about two hundred and eighty
tons. It is about thirty meters long

89
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:22.319
by about seven meters wide. It' s not a big deal, if

90
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.160
you think about it. However,
at the time it was a good boat,

91
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:33.759
not very large, but reliable aesthetic. It is a sailboat two main

92
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.759
masts, a diagonal one, has
a combination of candles between squares and triangulars

93
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.480
that makes it very suitable for sailing
from the United States to Europe. Captain

94
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.360
Briggs. He' s amazed that
I haven' t seen him. You

95
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.759
' re amazed because it' s
a beautiful boat. It' s freshly

96
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.159
repaired. It' s not new. It' s a boat that was

97
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.840
built maybe about ten years ago,
but it' s been fixed and it

98
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:09.000
' s been beautiful. As he
walks he is distinguished by his thin black

99
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.759
silhouette, the deck rails, the
main hut, those beautiful masts of almost

100
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.720
thirty meters high and as he approaches
he is surprised by something. Part of

101
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.000
the boat' s job is to
protect the hull. He has been added

102
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:33.480
some bronze plates to care for the
wood. When he looks at them with

103
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.759
the rays of the sun, it
produces a glow that gives him a touch

104
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:45.360
that he defines as elegant. It' s a beautiful boat. English speakers

105
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.000
often call the ships as if they
were female the ship. So you refer

106
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:56.039
to her as a pretty girl.
Once he gets there, he interviews with

107
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.480
the owner of the company, his
partner, a last name subject. Winchester

108
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.000
is a man who has several ships, is a subject who handles a lot

109
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.960
of cargo and this is one of
so many ships and has partnered with Briggs,

110
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.600
but he retains most of the Plastican
ship. About the charge they'

111
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.919
re agreeing on. Briggs is very
happy. Plus for a reason. On

112
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.000
this trip his wife will accompany him, Yes, Sarah, Sara will accompany

113
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.559
him along with Sophia Arthur can not
come because at seven years old he already

114
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.080
goes to school and no way he
leaves school and only God knows when they

115
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.200
will return. If all goes well, they' ll be spending Christmas in

116
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:41.480
Messina in Italy. So how good
is the talk revolves around the future burden

117
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.559
to the fact that it is accompanied
by his wife for one thousand eight hundred

118
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.519
seventy- two. The myth that
carrying women on a boat is bad luck.

119
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.600
It' s behind us. Briggs
has accompanied himself with his wife on

120
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.799
other occasions. In fact, there
are rumors that the boy' s name

121
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.600
is Arthur because when they got married, the boat they went to work on

122
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.919
was called Arthur Hawkins. If there
are rumors out there, but the fact

123
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.240
is, it' s not the
first time you' ve been with him.

124
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.639
He enjoys being with you. On
those long journeys there' s no

125
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.559
such thing as love in every port. That' s not true. When

126
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.240
they arrive at a port, they
have little time to resupply themselves to resume

127
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.679
the journey. The silver that'
s good. They agree on some things.

128
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.600
He assists in presenting credentials for the
port to authorize him. Don'

129
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.679
t lose sight of something. In
one thousand eight hundred and seventy- two,

130
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.000
the North American ports had a very
organized administration. There were no ships

131
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.399
coming out, just like that.
Each captain had to present his travel plan,

132
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.559
his credentials. The crew credentials fill
a number of requirements, document the

133
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:58.120
load. There was an administrative process
and this would take him a few days.

134
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:05.840
It can already be seen until the
beginning of November that Sarah would arrive

135
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.120
with Sophia and impressed them with the
beautifulness of the ship. Sophia' s

136
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.639
two years old. He' s
sympathetic, he' s driving around like

137
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.799
crazy, watching everything, playing everything. Mrs Cuf, that is, Sara,

138
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.360
returns her to the Captain' s
cabin. The Captain has sent to

139
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.919
enable well that, very protected,
very beautiful. The burden, however,

140
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.840
is a delicate burden, it is
a special burden. They' ll carry

141
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.879
a thousand seven hundred barrels of alcohol, but don' t imagine drinking alcohol,

142
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.320
whiskey or anything. It' s
not alco. The industrial company is

143
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.480
a burden of a German company that
is located in the United States and is

144
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.879
sending to Genoa, in Italy.
It' s a special burden. It

145
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.360
' s expensive, very expensive.
These types of chemicals that begin to have

146
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:56.960
industrial aurje become very expensive. The
freight of taking this to Genoa is worth

147
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.919
practically the same as the ship that
takes it those days that are there in

148
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.320
New York. Besides, it'
s time for a walk. You know

149
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.440
why Sarah wants to buy something nice. It' s New York, for

150
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.919
God' s sake. So you
have to look for something beautiful and they

151
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.159
do it is tremendous. They visit
several places. They return at night to

152
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.120
the boat. The crew you see
on the ship is also a good crew

153
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.559
to see. The first officer is
a guy named Richardson, a man about

154
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.080
twenty- eight or thirty years old, seriously quiet. He' s looking

155
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.840
to get the certification to be captain, and sailing with Captain Briggs is a

156
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.080
point in his favor. He'
s a serious guy. He' s

157
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.159
known to the owner of Winchester'
s company. He' s married to

158
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.200
a niece of his. They'
re trusted people. The second on board

159
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.879
is Andrew Gilling Gilling. The second
officer is also a relatively young man,

160
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.279
twenty- five to twenty- seven
years old. He' s also been

161
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.159
on several of Winchester' s ships. He' s a regular employee,

162
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.120
he' s not improvised. Contrary
to what is believed in some texts,

163
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.679
they are not people who were lifted
from the street, they are not sailors

164
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.799
of Winchester. After that comes William
Heath, William Heide Seth supercharge is the

165
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.919
man who is with the crew.
He' s a young boy with many

166
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.279
aspirations. Known from Captain Briggs'
family. He has worked with Oliver,

167
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.240
the brother, who is also captain
of high ships and has worked with Winchester

168
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.200
on other occasions. They' re
close people. Besides this, they'

169
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.759
re gonna take four sailors. There
are four men of German origin. A

170
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.200
couple of brothers, the Lorenzen brothers, are accompanied by Arian Martens and Gotliff

171
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:50.639
Gutshall. These German sailors are natives
of the Frisian Islands, sailors of all

172
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.879
life, people who have lived at
sea, all their lives. They'

173
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.320
re going back to their land right
now. They came to America on a

174
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.360
cargo ship that in turn has left
for another place and they prefer to come

175
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.080
back for a reason and this is
important for you to know. One of

176
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.679
the brothers, Lorenzen, is about
to be a father. He hopes to

177
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.639
arrive in time because he wishes to
be when his son, his firstborn,

178
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.799
is born. The other brother,
Lorenzen, is waiting for the Bride to

179
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.559
marry. They plan to get married
near Christmas. Everything' s ready now.

180
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.000
Then comes Gatlef Gatley is a serious
man, 30 years very quiet.

181
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.879
He' s waiting for his whole
family. He' s a man who

182
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.000
' s worked his whole life and
always comes back close to Christmas. As

183
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.080
for Arian Martens, he' s
a young man. He has to come

184
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.320
back because there' s a sick
relative, his father or his mother.

185
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.600
It is not clear which one of
them is serious, but they have enlisted

186
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:52.720
with Winchester during the previous days requesting
the boat to go there. They want

187
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.879
to go Europe. It' s
very likely that being there, they'

188
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.840
ll have to get four other crew
members because they' re not going back

189
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.679
to America. They' re planning
on staying over there. As you can

190
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.360
see, there are few crew members. If we add Captain Benjamin to this,

191
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:17.080
his wife and little Sophia are about
ten people, no more. It

192
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:22.360
' s a small boat, but
everything goes very well when Richardson talks to

193
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:30.039
Benjamin. They agree. Coming and
going is normal. This is like in

194
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.559
one of these comings and goings.
Walking down the street near the harbor,

195
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:40.799
Benjamin meets an old acquaintance, is
Captain Morhouse. He' s a wardrobe

196
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:42.720
Morhause is a man a little older
than Benjamin, but he has great affection

197
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.879
and great respect for him. Don' t lose sight of something. Benjamin

198
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:56.039
was a grumet during the Civil War
on a Confederate ship and Morhouse was a

199
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.759
Confederate captain. They were together there
they know each other, they have certain

200
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.079
proximity, they have seen each other
hundreds of times at sea and Morhouse does

201
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.000
not miss the opportunity to invite them
to dinner at one of the best restaurants

202
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.720
in New York. All three of
them are coming, Sophie, Sarah and

203
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:17.759
Benjamin It' s a family scene. When they go there they are very

204
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.039
impressed. Sara' s amazing.
He' s put on his new dress.

205
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.119
She looks gorgeous, Sophie. Well, if he hadn' t had

206
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.440
his hair cut in such an atrocious
way, he would have looked very nice,

207
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.319
but it actually seems more like,
because I eat very little hair.

208
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.759
But he still had a great time
and it was made from film. Morhouse

209
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:44.079
is not accompanied by his wife on
that occasion, but they live together talking

210
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.000
about things. Even by chance they' re both going to sail in the

211
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.480
same direction. Of course there'
s a difference. Morhouse is going to

212
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.319
sail about a fortnight after what'
s going to be Briggs, but they

213
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.599
' re likely to be there in
the Mediterranean. So they' re making

214
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.839
plans, because besides, Oliver,
the brother, it' s also likely

215
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.680
that he' s over there near
Christmas and they' ve planned to see

216
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.720
each other in messines and it'
s that everyone is known. When Briggs

217
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:17.720
walks the docks, people know him. After that event come a few days

218
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.440
of burdens. Supervise the cargo.
There' s a good relationship, all

219
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.559
the supplies are loaded. There'
s a problem during loading. The boat

220
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:34.119
' s main boat, a skiff
it carries, is damaged when something is

221
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.319
hit by a crane object, something
with a crane hits it and breaks it.

222
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.880
Winchester promises you' ll get a
new one, don' t worry.

223
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.400
Other than that, they' re
wearing a little one called the yola.

224
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.559
One and wave is a very small
boat, if it is for two

225
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.839
or three people. It is the
one that serves to communicate when they arrive,

226
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.400
for example, to a port,
the one that is dulled to take

227
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.720
the moorings to the dock. It' s the yolite. This little girl

228
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:04.480
is not a boat, an open
sea boat. It is not clear whether

229
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.960
or not the spare arrived. The
fact of the matter is that on November

230
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:15.839
5th, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy- two, Benjamins Put Briggs Captain

231
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.440
in command of his ship, leaves
New York. The objective to reach Genoa

232
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:27.119
Italy in the Mediterranean is a complicated
route. The Atlantic in these areas,

233
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.920
north of Ecuador can be very tempestuous. They will sail from New York towards

234
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.039
the Azores and then, as they
pass the Island of Santa Maria, the

235
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:44.880
last of the Azores Islands, they
will head north again northeast, heading towards

236
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.039
Gibraltar, the Strait of Gibraltar and
from there to the Mediterranean. To Italy.

237
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.119
It' s a journey that shouldn' t take them any further,

238
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:02.480
maybe a month and a half,
about, six to eight weeks in extreme.

239
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:11.599
They' re happy everything' s
going. Very well. There is

240
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:18.559
a detail shortly before sailing while the
port pilot is guiding you towards the exit,

241
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.640
Sara asks you to send one last
letter. Sara loves to write letters,

242
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.240
and now she' s written this
beautiful letter to Grandma, to Briggs

243
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.759
' mom, to the Captain.
Her mother- in- law in the

244
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.640
letter describes how Sophie plays all the
time and walks curiously around here and there.

245
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.400
And how he fell in love with
the cat. Oh, yeah,

246
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:48.160
po pu gu is what he calls
it, the cat has no name on

247
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.839
the boat, he has a cat
to eat the mice and he' s

248
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.119
out there. And, obviously,
it' s a boat cat shouldn'

249
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:57.519
t have been very neat, but
the girl loves it, caress it and

250
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:14.640
the cat chases it around here.
Let' s go a little ahead of

251
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:21.200
time. We are now in December, in the Atlantic, five December,

252
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.759
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
two. Captain Morhouse, yes, Captain

253
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.440
Briggs' friend, is sailing and
has broken the return of the Azores towards

254
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.480
the northeast, towards Portugal. It
aims to reach Gibraltar, where it will

255
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.400
await instructions for the delivery of the
cargo it carries on its ship. His

256
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:45.599
ship carries 1, 800 barrels of
oil, barrels literally, barrels of petroleum

257
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.720
wood. Morhouse is accompanied by a
similar crew. In fact, your boat

258
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:53.599
is almost the same as Captain Briggs, with the difference of some tons of

259
00:21:53.640 --> 00:22:00.359
weight and a meter or two long
are embarrassing. Both of you. Morhouse

260
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:07.640
has made rapid progress, though turning
towards Portugal, about four hundred miles from

261
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:15.319
the Azores. At latitude thirty-
eight degrees north with twenty minutes and longitude

262
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:22.279
seventeen degrees with fifteen minutes. He' s run into an area of calm.

263
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:27.359
The wind blows light. In fact, you have to deploy all the

264
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:36.240
sails so that your boat can move
forward with some calmness. Captain Morhause'

265
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:41.160
s ship is none other than that
of Grace, the grace of God,

266
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:48.799
a wooden ship equally a sailboat.
Morhouse' s taken good care of him.

267
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.720
Your crew is a long- time
crew. They' re not new

268
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:59.440
people, none of them. Crewing
a sailing boat in the Atlantic requires very

269
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:04.839
experienced people and Morhouse knows it.
Perhaps this surprised him so much that midday

270
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.160
of December 5th, when the distance
was about six or eight miles away.

271
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:18.759
One of the sailors reports that he' s seeing a ship' s grove

272
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.599
is a sailboat. It' s
in the distance. There' s no

273
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.880
difference between the body and the ship. Only the masts with the flared candles,

274
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:33.039
that is, entangled, are not
deployed. Captain Morhouse immediately thinks he

275
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:40.440
must be a fool or someone who
is not in a hurry in these latitudes

276
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.240
with this wind so calm and sailing
with the sails down surely not in a

277
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.920
hurry. Still, he decides to
take a look from the deck and using

278
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.920
the on- board telescope. He
is greatly struck by the fact that there

279
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.559
is only one small sail that is
deployed, but the movement of the ship

280
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:08.680
is erratic. It moves by nodding
and at the same time rolling, that

281
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:17.039
is, to the sides unusually and
making such an unusual nod. At a

282
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:22.480
certain point, Captain Morhouse, from
the place where he can observe, distinguishes

283
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.640
that there is a kind of small
flag, a flag that he thinks is

284
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.079
a warning sign. Normally, when
a ship is in trouble, it displays

285
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:40.400
a flag that different senses. It
has, for example, a red flag

286
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.680
means we are at risk. In
this case it is a sharp white flag,

287
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.519
which makes you think you have problems. Give the order to turn two

288
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:56.720
points to starboard immediately, the helmsman
begins to turn it. Ships aren'

289
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.960
t agile. Sailboats take a long
time in reaction. It would take him

290
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.599
some time to get the bow lined
up in the direction of that mysterious ship.

291
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.400
But as they get closer and closer. There is a feeling of distress

292
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.759
both in Morhouse and Deveno, which
is one of its crew members, and

293
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.359
in Williamson, which is also one
of the crew members. There is this

294
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.759
feeling of distress. The marine guard, who has gone up to the gofa,

295
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.440
which is above one of the masts, reports that he sees no activity

296
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:30.119
on the deck. It' s
very unusual. A ship with the sails

297
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.039
thrown in the middle of the ocean, with this strange movement in such a

298
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.200
calm climate, so rare, everything
as they get closer, the worry becomes

299
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.480
much more real because, indeed,
when they are perhaps 500 meters to a

300
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.279
half kilometer, with the different teams
to see, there is nothing. The

301
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.480
deck is empty, there' s
no one, there' s no one

302
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.799
up in the groves, there'
s nothing. They bring this ship as

303
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.559
close as possible, being about a
hundred meters away. Clearly, there'

304
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.920
s no one there. Despite the
big screams, even though a bell rings,

305
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.799
a whistle sounds, there is no
answer. Finally, Morhouse orders three

306
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:18.960
of his men to ride in the
small boat they have on board and row

307
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.000
until they reach that boat. The
people who board the boat around 3 p

308
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.920
m that day are sailor Devon,
sailor Gright and sailor Johnson, it'

309
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:36.079
s difficult to row in the open
sea, but they finally get there as

310
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.480
soon as they get on the deck. There' s a weird feeling about

311
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.880
that. There' s such strange
silence on board. All you can hear

312
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.279
is the rustling of the ship'
s wood. When he heads and moves.

313
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:55.680
Both seamen who have gone up start
walking down the deck. There'

314
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.680
s not much to see. The
hatches are open. The lazaret that is

315
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.559
to give input to the load is
open, but no damage is seen.

316
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:10.720
Some of the different portillas have a
protection that is used for storms, a

317
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:15.920
canvas protection, but they are open. As he approaches the area of the

318
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.599
main mast, where the Achique bombs
are, he observes that one of the

319
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:26.960
bombs is outside signal that someone has
been measuring the water in the lower part

320
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.480
of the boat. There were no
airtight ships. The wooden ships could not

321
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.960
be airtight. You could always put
in a little water and you had to

322
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:38.720
be checking constantly if you weren'
t filling up to pump. It'

323
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.960
s lying there as they move on. They realize other details. For example,

324
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.799
as they reach the front and enter
the area where the cabins of the

325
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:56.440
sailors were, they find that everything
is in place. There' s the

326
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.640
sailors' trunks. There are three
trunks. One of them is that of

327
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.880
the Lorenz brothers in which they used
one for the two, the other is

328
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.319
that of the other German sailor and
the other is that of Gotleb After,

329
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:15.000
behind a door where is the room
shared by the second officer and the surcharge.

330
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.359
They find that there are also their
marinery sacks. But what draws their

331
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.839
attention the most is that there is
no one and yet the clothes of the

332
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:30.839
storm are hung. In the usual
places. No sailor would risk going out

333
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.039
in a storm without wearing the right
clothes, but they' re hanging there.

334
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.880
Beyond that, there are provisions in
the kitchen for many days. Some

335
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.759
are a little down, especially the
fruits there reveal that they already have some

336
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:55.799
time, but everything is complete.
No shortage of supplies. When they check

337
00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.240
the freshwater tanks, they have a
very reasonable amount of fresh water. When

338
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.279
they check the dry ones, the
flours, it' s all there.

339
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.960
There was no food on the table
or anything. The junks that have probably

340
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:15.519
been used during breakfast are in a
suitable place and are not lying on the

341
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:22.839
floor. They are placed, that
is, that someone took the food here

342
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.519
and then was given the task of
cleaning those junks and putting them in place.

343
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.240
The different elements are also there.
The only thing here is no one.

344
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.160
When they go towards the back of
the ship, towards the cabin of

345
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:41.799
the captain, they barely enter the
sensations equally obnoxious. They check around here

346
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.960
and there' s no one there. They check one side, check another.

347
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.880
They realize that under the Captain'
s bed gift there is a sword

348
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.799
in his holster. It' s
there, there' s hung a series

349
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.799
of things typical of a captain in
the first officer' s room they find

350
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.559
that there' s even a navigational
charter that has been noted as the last

351
00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:07.519
date of his navigation, November 25th
in the morning. They also find other

352
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:14.200
navigation cards out there. They find
some elements that would serve to navigate.

353
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.519
When they climb to the deck where
the rudder is, the wheel of the

354
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.680
rudder, they realize that something is
missing and is the compass of the rudder.

355
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:26.960
The compass box of the helmsman is
broken, it' s lying on

356
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.039
the floor and over there on one
side it' s thrown. They realize

357
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.039
that there is no lifeboat, but
I must be a man of many years

358
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.759
who has sailed in many places and
has captain capacity, but has no certificate.

359
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:51.759
He observes a detail that few people
would observe and his first impression is

360
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:56.160
that there was no boat there,
because the posterior fishers, which is where

361
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:02.720
they usually hang a boat, whether
it is a lifeboat or a communication fool

362
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:06.240
a boat, the fishers have the
ropes with which they would get off or

363
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:10.359
get on a boat, they have
them tied to the fisherman himself. It

364
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.279
' s a precaution when you don' t take the boat there a boat

365
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.960
or the boat comes out so these
ropes aren' t whipping and they'

366
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.400
re gonna hurt something, tie them
to the fisherman. The ropes are tied,

367
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.680
which means that a lifeboat didn'
t come down that way. The

368
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:32.480
rest of the ship is in good
condition. When they start checking through this

369
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.279
hole where the bilge pump goes and
they check the depth of the water down

370
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:40.880
well, it has about three or
four feet of water. You' ll

371
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.240
think it' s a lot.
No, not really that. It can

372
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.400
easily be pumped. The bombs were
in good condition. It could be pumped

373
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.799
in just a little while and the
water corresponds to the amount of water that

374
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:57.079
would enter simply by the swell,
not even by a storm, simply by

375
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.480
the swell that splashes and gets into
these doors that are open. But what

376
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:10.599
intrigues them most is that there'
s no one, nothing in the captain

377
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.720
' s cabin. There are clothes, there are all the elements in the

378
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.200
cabin of the crewmen at the front. It' s all there. There

379
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.480
' s no shortage of things.
The charge is complete. Checking looks good

380
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:28.440
No problem. But also, why
were all the candles down, why they

381
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:34.200
had been tied in place, why
they were not deployed. Some reason had

382
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:38.799
motivated this, but in addition,
there is no data from where an intelligent

383
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.079
sailor, an experienced sailor who has
to leave a ship, may have gone

384
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.359
when the ship is in its last
moments, when there is no other choice.

385
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.880
Abandoning a boat on the high seas
and getting on a small rowing boat

386
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:00.640
is suicide how much and more than
the big boat that must carry a boat

387
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.200
never got off or didn' t
bring it down or didn' t bring

388
00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:13.000
it down. There are enormous doubts. As half an hour or forty minutes

389
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:19.759
go by, they find the logboard. It' s not exactly a log

390
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:24.480
book. It' s a tablet
where they write down things of the day

391
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.480
with some kind of chalk. The
hourly reports and then pass it to the

392
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.119
main log and it' s already
registered. This is a tablet. When

393
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:36.680
they saw her, they realized that
they had done very well. They had

394
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.839
had an eight- knot journey going
very fast. The last record, however,

395
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:46.759
is very far from the place where
they found the ship, about six

396
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:51.759
hundred miles away, very close to
the island of Santa Maria in the Azores,

397
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.079
but now they are much further north. This ship has been drifting for

398
00:33:55.079 --> 00:34:00.920
a long time. Taking into account
the records on the cards that were hung.

399
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.519
These people were carefully recording their advances
and there they stop. On 25

400
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:12.440
November, when they return to the
boat and Gracia Morhouse is waiting for them,

401
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.920
as soon as they arrive, they
begin to report how they have found

402
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.239
that boat completely adrift all empty with
no one and the fear that this causes

403
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:24.880
them panic. Morhouse asks there are
signs of violence, no, there is

404
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:30.320
nothing, everything is in order.
A clear sign of violence would be a

405
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:34.159
broken door, clothes, blood,
weapons something, nothing, everything is in

406
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:40.760
order, Captain. But when Morhouse
asks what the name of that boat is,

407
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:47.920
he can' t help but feel
a horrible chill and a feeling that

408
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.480
makes him sit in his chair with
a drop of sweat running down their foreheads,

409
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.039
because it' s Captain Breaks'
boat from his friend who had just

410
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:02.320
had dinner a few days ago in
early November in New York. The name

411
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:30.559
of that ship is the Sea and
Celeste and there is no one on board

412
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.679
Captain Briggs would sit for a long
time, not knowing exactly what, what

413
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.000
to do, where they are,
why they are not there, where Soffi

414
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:45.519
is and where Sara Ny is no
one is alive, I insist alive,

415
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.679
on board that ship. The sailors
who went up are emphatic. There'

416
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:59.360
s no one on board. After
discussing what to do. Finally, the

417
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:07.639
crew of Gracia decides to share crews, that is, to send a group

418
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:15.760
of men who board the sea and
sky and sail it to Gibraltar. The

419
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.119
crew is divided, which is very
dangerous, because, moreover, these ships,

420
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.000
although small in case of a storm, come to occupy all the people

421
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.360
who have on board all the hands
so that dividing it is risky, but

422
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.559
they cannot tow it. You can' t tie him up and tow him

423
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:37.800
with a sailboat. The only option
is to split the crews and so they

424
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:44.639
do. After spending most of the
night repairing the boat, fixing sails,

425
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:50.719
fixing ropes, placing here and there, fixing the compass, reducing the water

426
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:55.000
from the cellars, the boat is
perfectly navigable. There are provisions, only

427
00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:00.559
some fresh provisions are shared, and
they start sailing. The boat sails perfectly,

428
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:09.920
so perfectly that the distance to reach
Gibraltar is delivered in just seven days.

429
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.760
On the 12th of December of one
thousand eight hundred seventy- two,

430
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:23.719
the DEI Gracia enters the port,
accompanied by the sea and Celeste, whose

431
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:30.119
entire crew has disappeared. Upon arrival
at the port in Gibraltar, Morhouse reports

432
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.719
the finding of the ship is a
recovery. The Law of the Sea says

433
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:40.159
that whoever recovers a sinister ship on
the high seas deserves a reward and claims

434
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.840
the reward. He hopes it will
be a huge reward, because the cargo

435
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.679
on the ship is very valuable.
However, the people who are there are

436
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:55.159
from the English Government. The British
Vice Admiralty is there in Gibraltar and the

437
00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:01.360
first thing they think is that that
dirty game starts an interrogation investigation, notes

438
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.119
are taken. A cocrain last name
judge is the one who wears all this.

439
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.320
There' s a prosecutor who certainly
doesn' t believe what they'

440
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:15.079
re telling him. They' re
afraid that the Morhouse crew actually took the

441
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:20.039
boat by storm, killed the crew
and the captain just to get a big

442
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:30.239
reward. The investigation would become chaotic, because when the prosecutor finds the sword,

443
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:32.920
he claims that it is stained with
blood, the captain' s sword.

444
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.719
But he has also found a number
of marks on the bow that reveal

445
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:43.280
that there was an attempt to attack
or that by the way they made the

446
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.960
cap marks to make it look like
an accident. He also claims that there

447
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:52.360
is a blood mark on the deck. However, the report also includes a

448
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:59.639
thorough inspection by divers who ensure that
the helmet has no damage. Be perfect

449
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:06.159
condition The situation is getting complicated for
the Morhouse crew. It' s a

450
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:08.880
very serious accusation. A crime of
piracy in Altamar can cost them their lives

451
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:13.320
and will not cost them their lives
in a long time. The decisions are

452
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:20.960
made very quickly here. The American
Consul of the United States intervenes and with

453
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:25.360
him another investigation results in the captain' s sword not being stained with blood,

454
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:31.920
simply rusty. But the place where
the sword was found reveals that there

455
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:36.400
was no conflict, did not try
to get it out of the place,

456
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.840
did not try to do anything.
In another of the spaces are other elements

457
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:45.639
that included three or four swords weapons
that would be used to defend the ship

458
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.760
and did not even move them.
The blood stain out there on the deck

459
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:55.239
supposedly was actually a grease stain.
There was no such thing. The U

460
00:39:55.400 --> 00:40:00.239
S Attorney' s investigation, which
sent a series of experts, revealed nothing.

461
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:07.480
The boat was completely clean. There
had been no battle there, there

462
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:12.320
had been no struggle. He had
simply disappeared all his life from the ship.

463
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:22.239
The questions were so many why Captain
Briggs had his sails down. He

464
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.679
was under arrest. He had stopped
his ship, the anchor was in place.

465
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.320
He had not tried to anchor The
ship had the anchor in its well

466
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.599
- secured place, which reflected that
he had not tried to anchor. It

467
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.320
is likely that it had a very
favorable wind and that is why only one

468
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:44.559
of the sails was deployed. Probably
in November there had been some moments of

469
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:50.880
weather and good winds. One of
the researchers suggested that maybe he was sailing

470
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:58.480
with only half the sails. Another
suggested that he might have stopped. S

471
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.559
American hypotheses began to emerge, when
in the Americans they showed that there had

472
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:08.679
been no dolo. Judge Cocrein authorized
a rather miserable reward. It did not

473
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.320
even reach one fifth of the value
of the burden, which it offered them

474
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:16.920
as a reward, but they finally
took it because what followed was another investigation

475
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:21.760
and risked their lives. The ship
remained in Gibraltar for a few days until

476
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:28.760
a new crew took charge of carrying
the cargo to Genoa to amaze everyone.

477
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.719
The cargo was intact from a thousand
seven hundred and one barrels that were stored.

478
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:38.559
Only nine were scattered empty. Among
the seven hundred there were nine voids,

479
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.480
which was perfectly normal. The barrels
were made of wood. They had

480
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.159
a very thin liquid that could easily
escape the barrels. So the fact that

481
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:55.280
only nine were empty meant that the
ship had not faced a severe storm,

482
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:05.800
why they had abandoned it, why
they were not there. Finally, the

483
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:10.760
ship returns to the United States,
where it is very badly seen, very

484
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.599
badly seen. The fact that the
ship appeared without a crew made it considered

485
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:22.039
a cursed ship. The hypotheses about
what happened good are all about it.

486
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:29.039
There were those who claimed that pirates
had boarded him and would have disposed of

487
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:35.320
the crew. It is true that
by 1, 80, 70 there were

488
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:39.079
still some acts of piracy, especially
in the Azores region, and a small

489
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:45.320
boat a little slow like this,
which was not a clipper. It would

490
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:50.320
probably be an ideal target, but
at the same time, it would have

491
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:54.159
been a very absurd thing for pirates, after attacking the ship, not to

492
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:00.360
have taken the cargo, not even
to have stolen the sailors' trunks where

493
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:05.960
their savings were. Their money was
money, they wouldn' t have taken

494
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.199
the food. It didn' t
make sense. But besides, a pirate

495
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.519
attack doesn' t run out of
anything else. There would have been some

496
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.079
fighting. The captain was fighting for
his life and the life of his wife

497
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:21.440
and daughter. At least he would
have taken the sword and offered some resistance,

498
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.400
which he didn' t do.
None of the sailors. He did

499
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:29.800
that because there was no sign of
violence. Another theory claimed that the captain,

500
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:35.880
in panic, would have decided to
leave the ship thinking he was sinking.

501
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:38.920
Even though they had to go in
a small boat that was what the

502
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:45.280
famous Yola had left, I would
have decided to abandon it because of the

503
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.119
fear that it was sinking. But
it doesn' t make sense. Captain

504
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:52.000
Briggs was a man who had been
at sea for more than twenty years.

505
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:59.199
I knew perfectly well the secrets of
a wooden ship. He would never have

506
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:04.199
risked leaving a bar he wasn'
t sure was sinking from. And that

507
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:07.880
by the naked eye, you could
tell he wasn' t sinking. The

508
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:15.559
water there was minimal, it was
not remotely at risk of sinking. So,

509
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:19.320
it didn' t make sense.
But even if they had abandoned him,

510
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:22.800
they would have left him wearing protective
clothing, for example, these waterproof

511
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:31.159
clothes, would have prepared abundant water
supplies, something could not have been seen

512
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:36.880
that they had escaped. In panic
they had left the sails down, which

513
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:40.719
meant that they had had the time
to stop the ship or, at least,

514
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:47.400
to slow down. There was also
the possibility that a storm, a

515
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:52.679
sea storm would have surprised them,
a sea snake would have surprised them and

516
00:44:53.079 --> 00:45:00.400
in panic they would have left the
ship thinking that it was unlikely that a

517
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:05.400
giant squid would have eaten them one
by one. In that sense, this

518
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:09.159
was the worst of all, because
if the crew were all covered up,

519
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:19.519
very happy and there appeared an Atlantic
scapiollis or a Mesonicoteutis deus and held one

520
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:24.920
with a tentacle, the others would
instinctively have run under cover. The ship

521
00:45:25.039 --> 00:45:29.440
had two decks, the top deck
to the bottom deck. Obviously, they

522
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:32.960
would have run hiding there or they
would have taken swords and fought something.

523
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:39.119
But, besides, how he took
the whole crew one by one all.

524
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:45.440
At the same time there was someone
who proposed a very strange theory, claiming

525
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:52.440
Briggs had ordered a side platform to
be built on the ship to be able

526
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:59.039
to see his daughter and his wife
Swimming made no sense. Briggs wouldn'

527
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.400
t have allowed his wife and daughter
to go swimming in the sea or crazy.

528
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:07.239
It was very risky. Besides,
they were in a hurry with the

529
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:10.360
money. It was important to be
early on a major trip. It wasn

530
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:15.639
' t a walk, it was
a business trip. The other thing that

531
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:19.760
was said was the mutiny on board. The legend of the sea and Celeste

532
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:23.000
says that Captain Briggs and his beautiful
wife, on their wedding trip, were

533
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:30.440
attacked by corrupt sailors. Legend had
it that the sailors were people who had

534
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:34.679
found on the street, literally drunk
from the street that while on board,

535
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:39.000
they drank the alcohol from the barrels
and burning with desire and whisky. They

536
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:44.440
had attacked the captain' s wife
after killing him, then killing her and

537
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:51.360
then killing each other among themselves and
ending up in chaos. Another legend considered

538
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.920
the possibility that the sailors had killed
the captain the woman had done horrible things.

539
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:00.119
Then Richardson had been killed. The
first trade and then the survivors had

540
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:06.360
assembled in the small boat and had
fled. It makes no sense anywhere,

541
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:10.760
because the boat was carrying industrial alcohol. Whoever takes it goes blind. That

542
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:17.119
same day. Point two, it
wasn' t his young wife nor was

543
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:23.840
it the honeymoon trip. The wife
was Sarah caf, a perfectly serious,

544
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:30.400
quiet and quiet Puritan woman who didn' t leave the cabin. Point two,

545
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.800
the four German sailors were going home
because they had to go back,

546
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.800
they had things to look forward to, they wanted to get there. They

547
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:44.000
were not going to be doing barbarities
at half the sea and if they would

548
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.519
have been mutiny on board. There
were four German sailors against the captain and

549
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:54.000
two officers, and the supercharge that
they were of the company would have been

550
00:47:54.039 --> 00:48:00.159
defended and there were no signs of
this Finally, if they had mutined,

551
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:07.239
it is very likely that they would
have sought to stay somewhere near a port

552
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.360
to declare the sinking of the ship
and save their life. A mutiny on

553
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:15.880
board meant the death of the mutineers. Just as simple as that why they

554
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:17.719
hadn' t done it, why
there were no blood marks, because there

555
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:25.159
was no violence, because the bed
was lying, he didn' t apply

556
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:28.920
the mutiny, they went crazy and
jumped into the water. Everyone didn'

557
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.000
t make much sense either. There
is a theory that claimed that they had

558
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:36.199
eaten something, that it had hurt
them and that it had made them crazy

559
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:40.239
and they had ended up jumping madly
in the water. Something like paradoxical hypothermia

560
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:45.760
or paradoxical nudity during hypothermia, than
in the middle of the cold. People

561
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:49.000
undress something like that, but there
was no proof of that. So much

562
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:52.880
so that on the crew that the
Day, Thank you, shares them,

563
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:57.719
eats the supplies and arrives well to
their destination. So, no, no,

564
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

565
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

566
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

567
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

568
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

569
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

570
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719

00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719

572
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719

00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719

00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:57.719
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

575
00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:59.880
no, no, no, no. But not something. What very few

576
00:48:59.960 --> 00:49:20.400
of me repaired is that the cat
wasn' t there either. Now he

577
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:24.000
wants me to tell him the other
story about the Sea and Celeste. We

578
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:30.599
' re gonna start 12 years ago. The ship began to be built in

579
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:36.199
a thousand eight hundred and sixty on
Spencer Island, Novascocha, Canada, further

580
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:40.760
north of New York, at a
site known as the Spencer Bay shipyards.

581
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:47.239
It was the first ship they built. They had made a society the inhabitants

582
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:52.679
of the area to build a shipyard
and build ships. The wood came from

583
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:58.320
an island and the works were done
on Spencer Island. The ship was conceived

584
00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:04.440
as a slightly smaller one ship.
It began to work very hard and would

585
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:10.840
be up to one thousand eight hundred
sixty- one when it is put to

586
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:16.039
first detail its name. The original
name of the boat was Amazon La Amazona,

587
00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:22.079
not Sea Celeste. The Amazon began
sailing in one thousand eight hundred sixty

588
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.360
- one. In June of one
thousand eight hundred and sixty- one he

589
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:29.679
would make his first journey. It
was a trip across the Atlantic. I

590
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:36.039
' d take wood to London,
but just finish loading. Captain Robert Macleyland

591
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:42.679
falls seriously ill when they take him
back to Spencer Island, with the idea

592
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:47.000
of staying there for a few days
and resting. As soon as the first

593
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:53.039
captain arrives on the first voyage of
the first ship of a shipyard. He

594
00:50:54.880 --> 00:51:00.800
dies without being able to deliver the
cargo. After this, the boat starts

595
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:07.400
sailing, gets into a new captain. The crew reorganises and sails, but

596
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:12.840
as soon as it is leaving the
bay where it was anchored, it is

597
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:16.960
entangled with the nets of two fishing
boats, which sink. It is not

598
00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:22.159
clear whether the crews of the fishermen
survived or not. What is clear is

599
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.519
that the ship took the nets and
sank the boats after making the trip and

600
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:32.519
arriving in London delivering its cargo.
Everything seemed to be going well, but

601
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:37.840
when it goes out, they decide
to cross the Dover Strait, where they

602
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:42.679
run into another sailboat in front of
which you rammed to free. The other

603
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:49.119
sailboat crosses the path, avoiding the
path of the Amazon. And this generates

604
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:53.960
a crash that sends down in minutes
to the other sailboat. The crew survives

605
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:59.159
when they are rescued, but not
all are told that the captain of the

606
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:05.800
other sailboat also left to do,
who would spend several months in repair and

607
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.039
eventually return to the United States.
The ship works well during the following years,

608
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:14.639
even though it is a ship marked
by death. Work well, Make

609
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:19.400
numerous trips, Travel to the Western
Indies, go and come, do and

610
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:23.920
undo, but the boat itself is
not very profitable for the owners. It

611
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:30.360
doesn' t leave good dividends.
Apparently, the captain had some tricks.

612
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:35.519
Perhaps for that reason, in one
thousand eight hundred and sixty- seven they

613
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:37.760
decide to change the captain. The
captain was a last name guy. Thompson

614
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:45.559
Thompson angry on the street. The
boat takes him against a rocky area and

615
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:50.960
near Cape Breton, on the Atlantic
coast, tweezers him against the rocks.

616
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:58.679
That' s where the boat stays. The Amazon was severely damaged. It

617
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.480
' s been a while. This
guy can' t be charged. It

618
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:05.119
was simply an accident, of course
he knew he was already going to be

619
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:10.840
discharged and crazed, he himself took
his boat against the rocks. The Amazon

620
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:16.039
would be rescued, sold for misery
and owned by a last name subject.

621
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:22.960
Hans Hains would hire a number of
technicians and people who would remodel the ship

622
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:29.760
and adapt it, make it a
new boat. Since the Amazon had declared

623
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.960
itself to be a total loss and
the insurance had been charged, some small

624
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:38.480
pieces of paper had to be fixed
around here and some little things had to

625
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:46.480
be changed over there to change its
name and it would now be put afloat

626
00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:49.239
with a new name, The Mary
Celeste, the Queen of Heaven. Of

627
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.960
course, Himes would never be able
to sail on his ship. Shortly after

628
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:55.960
the repairs were completed and in the
middle of the bacle that had meant the

629
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:02.320
expenses, the ship would be embarrassed. The debts were so many that he

630
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:07.920
could not pay them and before he
could sail on his first trip, Hans

631
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:12.960
was bankrupt and bankrupt he was seized, lost all his assets, took him

632
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:17.159
off the ship and ended up hitting
himself in the head. The boat was

633
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:22.000
then put up for sale. An
auction was made and the man who bet

634
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.719
the best amount was h R Winchester, the owner of the ship company,

635
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:31.559
who ordered that this beautiful boat,
which was very neglected, whose repair had

636
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:38.440
been precarious, be remodeled the sea
and celestial would be subjected to a total

637
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:43.480
refurbishment, its cargo hold would be
expanded, a second deck would be added,

638
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:49.280
new rooms would be placed for the
captain and with the contribution of money

639
00:54:49.639 --> 00:54:58.559
from Captain BENJAMINSR. Briggs became a
beauty, but he was a cursed ship.

640
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:05.280
His first captain had died on his
first trip. He had sent Pique

641
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:10.199
a ship on his first trip had
brought the company to ruin. He had

642
00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:15.800
brought Hans to ruin and his name
had been changed. The old Seas Act

643
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:22.480
says that the name of a ship
is not changed, and less so when

644
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:29.199
it is to make a fraud with
the authorities, anyway, after delivering the

645
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:36.159
cargo and returning to the United States, the ship would continue to work,

646
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:39.480
but it was not an easy boat. The crew, the crews were afraid.

647
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:45.639
It would take some time and it
would not be until a thousand eight

648
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:49.079
hundred and seventy- four when I
would sail again. Winchester would decide to

649
00:55:49.079 --> 00:55:52.840
sell it. He didn' t
keep it again. He would sail again

650
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:57.440
from one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four to one thousand eight hundred and

651
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:00.840
seventy- nine, apparently in a
normal way, or at least that is

652
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:05.480
what is believed. The reality is
that before that period of time ended,

653
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:13.239
Captain Tthill, a new captain,
would die on board. Yes, on

654
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:21.280
his first trip, the new captain
would die of sickness as he set sail

655
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:23.639
began to feel bad. He was
taken down on an island where he would

656
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:31.800
die two days later. He was
the third captain to die on board on

657
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:38.159
his first trip. Don' t
lose sight of the fact that the three

658
00:56:38.159 --> 00:56:42.679
captains had died on their first trip, but the ship was still not finished

659
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:47.440
there. During the following months he
would spend a long season anchored or moored

660
00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:52.159
in a port. No one wanted
to get on, no one wanted to

661
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:55.159
give it a load. Of course, no contractor would dare carry it.

662
00:56:55.679 --> 00:56:59.920
What' s more, the dockers
weren' t going to fall for it.

663
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:07.280
Finally, he would sail again,
changing from port to port near Boston.

664
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:10.639
I would be able to sail the
Sea and Celeste again, despite all

665
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:14.719
the problems. However, it was
not a big deal and, besides,

666
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:17.320
it was a boat that was already
old, it was mistreated. They hadn

667
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:22.880
' t looked after him. He
wasn' t taken care of by the

668
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.440
pretty girl She wasn' t a
pretty girl anymore. Suddenly the captain decides

669
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:30.519
it' s a good time to
do business. Agreeing with the owners.

670
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:37.400
They carry an economic load, an
ordinary load, secure it as if it

671
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:40.559
were a very expensive load and send
the ship to Port- au- Prince

672
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:49.079
Haiti. There, Captain Parker deliberately
silences the ship against reefs to claim insurance.

673
00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:53.800
But he makes a serious mistake.
While in Haiti, he recovers some

674
00:57:53.840 --> 00:58:00.000
of the cargo and in an inexplicable
variance, you sell it to the North

675
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:04.679
American consul, the American consul,
who buys it for five hundred dollars.

676
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:07.599
But when he realizes what it is
immediately reports that the merchandise that was on

677
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:13.360
board the sea and celestial was not
valuable. The insurance company conducts an investigation

678
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:19.599
and determines that there is an insurance
fraud. Although Captain Parker isn' t

679
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:24.159
prosecuted and convicted for it. The
reality is that three months after the sea

680
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:30.760
and Celeste ran aground, Captain Parker
is dead. Your partner. In that

681
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:34.599
misdeed, a shot has been shot
in the head and the third member of

682
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:38.280
this tertia ends up crazy in a
psychiatric ward and dies within a year.

683
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:45.239
The wreck of the Sea and Celeste
would end up in the shallow waters near

684
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:52.079
Haiti, where no one would remember
it if it were not, because it

685
00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:55.079
had a terrible curse on board.
What happened to Captain Briggs, what happened

686
00:58:55.119 --> 00:59:05.719
to Sophia, to Sarah Cauf,
to Richardson, to the Germans. It

687
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:12.679
will never be clear but what it
has been not only took the crew,

688
00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:20.840
but also the cat. Few people
repair that detail, but the fact that

689
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:25.320
the cat was not on board the
boat meant that whatever attacked the ship left

690
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:36.000
nothing alive on board. Pirates wouldn' t have done that. They would

691
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:40.119
have abandoned the ship in urgency,
as has been suggested, they would have

692
00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:45.280
taken the cat. No. Another
theory explaining the disappearance of the crew claimed

693
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:52.480
that Sarah and Sophia had fallen overboard. Captain Briggs had launched himself to retrieve

694
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:58.920
them, to protect them from the
deck. Richardson and the others would have

695
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:01.639
tried to pick them up with some, but the rail would have broken and

696
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:07.159
they would have fallen into the sea
or slipped and they would all have fallen

697
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:09.559
into the sea as the ship sailed
and drifted away. That doesn' t

698
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:15.599
make sense. It makes no sense
for several reasons. First, because there

699
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:21.559
would be at least one of the
broken rails there would be a rope tied

700
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:27.480
up hanging around there would be something. But besides, Captain Briggs wouldn'

701
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:32.440
t have allowed his daughter to be
at risk. It had no logic anywhere.

702
01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:38.559
So far, hundreds of theories have
tried to explain what happened to the

703
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:45.079
sea and the sky, what happened
to the crew. Amazing stories have been

704
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:51.039
invented. False witnesses have appeared everywhere
until Sir Arthur. With Andoy he wrote

705
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:54.000
him a novel that was interpreted as
true, as if it were the real

706
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:59.679
thing and it was a novel.
The wrong name has been written many times

707
01:01:00.440 --> 01:01:06.239
Sea Celeste was written just as Sea
Celeste with igrega has been written as Sea

708
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.519
Celeste Marie has been written in a
thousand ways. There are mistakes everywhere,

709
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:14.920
but what is a fact is that
today, almost one hundred and fifty years

710
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:21.440
after those events, the celestial sea
remains a mystery. In a time of

711
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:27.320
technology, in a time when we
have satellites, spacecraft, people walking plans

712
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:32.679
to go to Mars, today the
celestial sea is still a cursed ship.

713
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:51.760
After talking about this classic mystery case, what do you think if we send

714
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:55.320
greetings and congratulations. First of all, Blanca, Islas Blanca, greets her

715
01:01:55.360 --> 01:02:00.800
mother Magdalena Ortega Molina and her brothers
Erick Les, her children Angel Ailine,

716
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:06.039
her husband. They are in San
Martín Tezmelucan, in Puebla, in the

717
01:02:06.039 --> 01:02:09.840
central part of Mexico and we are
very pleased that the whole family is with

718
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:15.119
us. Erika to Ribas, Erik
Arribas is in Panama right now. She

719
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.960
is Ecuadorian, but she is in
Panama and there she is with her husband,

720
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:22.599
Javier Mieles, and her daughter and
they go to Mieles. Javier'

721
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:27.239
s a little hurt because he fell
a few days ago and he' s

722
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:29.679
kind of sad. So we send
him one of those strong hugs that lifts

723
01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:35.239
his spirits and assures him of the
future. It' s good. It

724
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:37.960
' s coming in good times.
So jesus spirit smells healthy just turned old

725
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:43.239
and we' re sending him a
strong hug. And remember, it'

726
01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:46.159
s not for a day. Our
wishes are for all this enormous year that

727
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:52.239
begins. Enjoy it a lot.
Silvia Navarro, she always accompanies us and

728
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:54.960
is always waiting and wants us to
send her a great greeting with all confidence.

729
01:02:55.400 --> 01:03:00.440
We sent him a hug for Silvia
Mejía Martínez. She greets Mr Diego

730
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:06.440
Baltasar Martín Diego Baltasar Anda a little
evil Don Diego. That is why we

731
01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:10.239
send him this strong energetic embrace,
which transmits heat, which transmits confidence,

732
01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:15.320
strength. Let' s go up. Then we have Daibert Forero. He

733
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:20.639
salutes Sarah Parra. Sara Parra is
a friend of hers who always makes him

734
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:23.519
laugh and she loves that. It
drives him crazy. There are people who

735
01:03:23.559 --> 01:03:29.360
smile even with their eyes, and
that is so appreciated. Then we have

736
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:32.840
Pili Castro Oliva. She congratulates juanma
who turned old and are in Mallorca,

737
01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:40.039
Spain, in the Mediterranean. That' s because in my skin I have

738
01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:46.199
the bitter taste of eternal weeping,
the Mediterranean. What beautiful places. Thank

739
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.679
you so much for joining us from
those beautiful places. Daniel Baste greets Montserrat,

740
01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:58.920
his niece who is around. Alejandra
León congratulates Silvana. Silvana turned recently

741
01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:02.840
and we could not congratulate her,
but now, she is fourteen. Geez,

742
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:09.039
a magnificent life ahead of us.
Make her want, eat her don

743
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:18.159
' t let her pass remember,
tempus fujit carpediem memento Mori. So to

744
01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:23.679
make him very anxious, to eat
the world that is set for you and,

745
01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:27.920
of course, a greeting for his
sister. They are all in Harlengham,

746
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:32.239
Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thank you
so much for joining us for Anita

747
01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:36.159
Gerkore, who always accompanies us from
Facebook and we love that she puts things

748
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:40.800
in the community. You throw camp
three on campus. He was eighty-

749
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.960
five years old and his daughter,
Brigitte Tamaroni, sent him a big hug.

750
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:48.559
We love being with us as a
family. He' s going too

751
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:53.880
hard to throw himself into fields.
Juan José Orrailey and his wife Guadalupe Flores,

752
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:58.519
Hisel San Ont and his son Anthony
Quesada, who also accompanies us,

753
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:02.880
Monica Rie and her husband Orlando and
her son Nacho, Mary James and their

754
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:09.840
dad Gustavo Liceaga, who have already
been discharged is a party, of course

755
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:12.719
there must be a party. Sure
if you want to, as you just

756
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.119
released it, make it a party
with a little bit of mate, a

757
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:17.199
little tea, some cookies and to
