GHOST SHIP(ISBN=9780345466655) 英文原版 下载 115盘 pdf snb 夸克云 tct kindle azw3

　　On December 4th, 1872, a 100-foot brigantine was discovered

drifting through the North Atlantic without a soul on board. Not a

sign of struggle, not a shred of damage, no ransacked cargo—and not

a trace of the captain, his wife and daughter, or the crew. What

happened on board the ghost ship Mary Celeste has baffled and

tantalized the world for 130 years. In his stunning new book,

award-winning journalist Brian Hicks plumbs the depths of this

fabled nautical mystery and finally uncovers the truth.

The Mary Celeste was cursed as soon as she was launched on the

Bay of Fundy in the spring of 1861. Her first captain died before

completing the maiden voyage. In London she accidentally rammed and

sank an English brig. Later she was abandoned after a storm drove

her ashore at Cape Breton. But somehow the ship was recovered and

refitted, and in the autumn of 1872 she fell to the reluctant

command of a seasoned mariner named Benjamin Spooner Briggs. It was

Briggs who was at the helm when the Mary Celeste sailed into

history.

In Brian Hicks’s skilled hands, the story of the Mary Celeste

becomes the quintessential tale of men lost at sea. Hicks vividly

recreates the events leading up to the crew’s disappearance and

then unfolds the complicated and bizarre aftermath—the dark

suspicions that fell on the officers of the ship that intercepted

her; the farcical Admiralty Court salvage hearing in Gibraltar; the

wild myths that circulated after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published a

thinly disguised short story sensationalizing the mystery.

Everything from a voodoo curse to an alien abduction has been

hauled out to explain the fate of the Mary Celeste. But, as Brian

Hicks reveals, the truth is actually grounded in the combined

tragedies of human error and bad luck. The story of the Mary

Celeste acquired yet another twist in 2001, when a team of divers

funded by novelist Clive Cussler located the wreck in a coral reef

off Haiti.

Written with the suspense of a thriller and the vivid accuracy of

the best popular history, Ghost Ship tells the unforgettable true

story of the most famous and most fascinating maritime mystery of

all time.
