THE CAPTAIN BUTLER
MARITIME AND NON-MARITIME PEOPLE
AND MARITIME AND NON-MARITIME INCIDENTS WEBSITE
For anyone who comes across this web page, you will discover, that it is dedicated to Maritime and non-Maritime people and Maritime and non-Maritime incidents, which are connected, with Captain Butler! For example: Captain Horatio Nelson and Don Quioxte! Again, I must stress, that this is not a specialist Maritime and non-Maritime people and a Maritime and non-Maritime incidents page! And again, I would fully recommend, that if you would like to study, a particular Maritime person, and a particular non-Maritime person, and a particular Maritime incident, and a particular non-Maritime incident, in great depth, which may include some pretty powerful images, that you avast, to the search engines, which should be able to help you, where that is concerned! But again, I do intend to take this seriously, even though, it's all in the name of fun, and I am aware, that there are some people, out there, who may be interested in this Web Page!
My first subject, will be a maritime incident, which has always interested me, before I had even seen Captain Butler! This maritime incident, in particular, was of great interest to Butler and his crew, because they had a flag, which was aimed at keeping particular threats like Nelson and his great navy away, so they wouldn't have to go back to the navy! But things didn't really turn out the way, that they wanted them to, which is usually the way, isn’t it?! So, for anyone, who may be interested, this section is devoted to:
THE MARY CELESTE MYSTERY
Captain David Moorhouse of the British ship: Dei Gratia, sighted the Mary Celeste, six hundred miles off the Portuguese coast on the 4th of December 1872.
The Mary Celeste was lurching, her rigging in disarray and her wheel unmanned. The boarding party found nothing missing, except the crew and the lifeboat. The provisions, cargo and crew's belongings were intact. The last entry in the log, was eleven days earlier. There were many signs of suddenly interrupted everyday activity: unmade beds, an open skylight and an unfinished calculation, by a loose chart.
After rigorous investigations, lasting years, the fate of the Mary Celeste, is one of the great marine mysteries of all time.
