About The Last Witness

On 4 December 1872 the crew of the Dei Gratia found the Mary Celeste sailing the Atlantic with no one aboard. Captain Briggs, his wife, their two-year-old daughter and seven crew were gone.

The ship now lies at Gibraltar and the Vice-Admiralty Court wants an answer. You are the court's investigator. Question the witnesses, collect every fact as a card in your notebook, and show the right card to the right person to make them say more.

When you are ready, file your verdict: one theory and your three strongest cards. The case is built on the real 1872 inquiry.
