Bermuda Triangle - What Happened &'oard the Marie (eleste"
)ome people belie#e the Bermuda Triangle extends #arther than the outlined area of Bermuda" 0iami and )an 1uan. !f this is the case then
another interesting disappearance is worth mentioning. The 0arie .eleste left *ew York 2arbor on *o#ember &" 1345 with a cargo of industrial
alcohol. Passengers on board the ship were .aptain Ben6amin )pooner Briggs" his wife and two +ear7old daughter and eight crew members. $n
%ecember &th of that +ear" another ship found the 0arie .eleste adri#t in the ,tlantic $cean. ,ll the passengers and one lifeboat were missing.
