THREE MYSTERIOUS EVENTS UNEXPLAINED IN HISTORY:

"The Lost Ship, A Mysterious Map And The Bermuda Triangle”

1-MARY CELESTE:

AN ABANDONED SHIP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN

The story of the ship Mary Celeste begins on December 5, 1872, when a British ship, Dei Gratia, sighted a seemingly abandoned ship drifting through the Atlantic near the Azores Islands about 1,000 miles west of Portugal.

When the crew of the Dei Gratia boarded the Mary Celeste, they found everything in perfect order with even the crew’s clothes neatly packed away, yet no people anywhere to be found. The only clues about the lack of people were a disassembled pump in the hold and a missing lifeboat. So began one of the most enduring mysteries of the sea.

In this story, which is one of the most mysterious sea accidents in history, all theories have been considered, from wild stories involving sea monsters to fires caused by alcohol burden. However, there was never any clear evidence of what actually happened on the Mary Celeste.

On November 7, 1872, Captain Benjamin Briggs and the crew of the Mary Celeste, a merchant ship with a cargo of alcohol, had left New York Harbor to sail for Genoa, Italy. The captain sailed with his wife and daughter along with his seven chosen crew, but they never reached their destination. After leaving New York, Mary Celeste sailed in the ocean for two weeks. Finally, on November 25, the captain wrote his latest notes in the log.

But when the Dei Gratia found Mary Celeste on Dec. 5, there was not a person in sight. When the captain of the Dei Gratia boarded the ghost ship, he found three and a half feet of water in the bilge, the lowest point of the ship that sits below the waterline. The cargo was intact, though some of the barrels were empty. The sailors who saw Mary Celeste were suddenly stunned. Because there wasn't a single person on board. An abandoned ship in the middle of an ocean wasn't a good sign. The ship's sails were torn in places and The Mary Celeste was drifting towards the Strait of Gibraltar. But that's not all the coincidences inside this lonely ship. It was very strange that there was no sign of a confrontation or accident. Although there was water on the ship's deck that had reached a height of 1 meter, The Mary Celeste had not sunk. 1 lifeboat, compass and log were also missing. The cargo and the crew's provisions were in place. Therefore, if there had been a pirate attack, all the goods would have been looted. Despite all this, the Ghost Ship Mary Celeste was unfit to make its way across the ocean, so Dei Gratia's crew disbanded the two ships and went to Gibraltar, where they could assemble and claim salvage rights under the law of the sea.

Why Was Mary Celeste Abandoned?

Where did Mary Celeste's crew go? This incident was never explained.

The ship was suitable for sailing and had six months of water and food to supply the crew. A captain would leave his ship only in the most difficult circumstances, but this seemed quite abnormal for Mary Celeste.

When the two ships arrived at Gibraltar, Dei Gratia expressed a request for rescue. The Admiral's court held the Dei Gratia captain and crew responsible for the incident as the first suspect. But after a three-month investigation they found no evidence. Dei Gratia's crew ultimately received their pay for the rescue. However, the payment they received for Mary Celeste was only one-sixth of the total value of $ 46,000. It seems the authorities were not entirely convinced of their innocence.

A Real Theory?

In 1884, the famous writer Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his short story, J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement, based on the story of Mary Celeste. The introduction of the short story led to a new investigation about the ship. Finally, in 2002, the documentary maker Anne MacGregor began to investigate. Using several modern methods, he reconstructed the drift of the ghost ship and deduced that the captain had a defective compass and was hopelessly out of course. The Mary Celeste was more than 120 miles west of where it should have been.

Mary Celeste's captain expected to see land, but that never happened. The captain then changed course towards Santa María Island in the Azores. So far so good, but this would not cause a captain to leave the ship. However, MacGregor also learned that the ship had been reconditioned a short time ago and during this renovation, the bilge engines (the pump that was responsible for throwing water entering the bottom of the ship) were filled with coal dust.

And if the pumps don't work, there’s no way to pump the water that could get into the ship’s bilge, so Captain Briggs may have at least sought refuge on a nearby mysterious island (Santa Maria).

MacGregor's theory is not universally accepted, or even definitively demonstrable, but at least it aligns with the evidence (the disassembled bomb, for example) in a way that other theories do not. 130 years after this last incident, the mystery of Mary Celeste is still not fully solved.

2- ODDITIES IN CARTA MARINA MAP

A very interesting map was drawn in the Middle Ages. The drawings of a man named Olaus Magnus showed unusual things. There are many famous maps in the history of cartography and discoveries. For example, the map of Piri Reis, a Turkish sailor and Ottoman admiral. One of them is Carta Marina, compiled by Swedish Christian Religious Scholar and Explorer Olaus Magnus who lived in the 16th century, and when this mysterious map was discovered in medieval times, it was found to contain many mysteries.

Olaus Magnus (1490-1557), was a Swedish, Catholic priest, travelled the northern parts of the Kingdom of Sweden from the Valley of the Tornio River to Pello in 1519 in relation to church affairs. With inspiration from this journey, he published his book A Description of the Northern Peoples (Historia de gentibus septentrionalis), which became a classic in 1555 and was influential for a long time.

Carta Marina, the map called “Sea Map", just like Piri Reis' map, is a very well-known interesting work in the west. The map prepared by Olaus Magnus (1490-1557) in the 16th century provides detailed information about the countries in the North of the World. The map was also filled with some strange sea monsters. The places where these monsters appear are marked one by one on the map and the sailors who will use the map are reminded of the critical areas to look out for:

● The map, which is well known among crypto-expert zoologists, shows for example vortices;

● The areas where the Icebergs (ice mountains) are located have been recalled.

● So, what was shown in this drawing (above picture), which was shown as Danger (A) on the map?

● What kind of sea creature was this thing that is said to be deadly to sailors?

● Besides, the object in this drawing was more like a ship than a monster. However, it is immediately noted that it has elements that are not in any depiction of its era.

Was that a submarine? Or was it a pirate ship? Or was it a UFO or, more accurately, a USO (Unidentified Swimming Object) that was often seen by sailors at that time?

The Carta Marina Map (Carta marina et descriptio septentrionalium terrarum ac mirabilium rerum) published in 1539, long before this work by Olaus Magnus, was a preliminary to this later work. Completed in Venice in 1539, it formed the main source for maps of the region of Scandinavia until Anders Bure's (Orbis arctoi nova et accurata delineatio) map was published in 1626.

Carta Marina is the first map to show the geography of the northern countries in a way that is close to the truth. Although the Inland sides are still drawn arbitrarily, the coasts appear to be drawn more realistically.

Carta Marina is the best known work of Olaus Magnus. The map, which has a total size of 175 x 125 cm, was prepared in nine separate wooden blocks and was printed in Venice in 1539. The reason the map was printed in Venice is because Olaus Magnus left his country at the time and was living in exile in Italy.

Olaus' brother John had been served archbishop of Uppsala in 1523. John, who could not prevent the attempts of Swedish King Gustav I to spread Lutheranism, went to Rome in 1537. He was accompanied by Olaus, who served as his secretary. When his brother John died in 1544, he was appointed as Archbishop of Uppsala, in his place, but that remained on paper. Olaus spent the rest of his life in Italy, and mostly in Rome. Here he continued his studies that would make him one of the most important geographers and cartographers of the Renaissance period.

3 - BERMUDA TRIANGLE AND ITS UNSOLVED MYSTERY

Is the Bermuda Triangle a myth? Or is it a tale made up by old-time sailors? I wonder if there really is something supernatural going on there from time to time. Or is it, according to someone, an unknown technology left over from The Lost Continent of Atlantis that causes events? Money is the main reason behind contemporary myths that are outside of mythological myths; people create unnatural stories or facts, creating economic potential where the event occurs.

If we list contemporary myths, the Bermuda Triangle will surely be in the top three. The mystery of Bermuda has a lot of material than its counterparts, it is publicly available, the material used in books, films makes up very little as described. In fact, there is incredibly large material left behind. But the main goal here is primarily to discuss the claims of publications that are supposed to be scientific, that is, that science cannot bother to provide a popular explanation. What is being discussed here are the claims that there are events at the speed of light in the Triangle, or that the Triangle is a mystical field, or that it is the base of the UFO (USO), and that the gates of Atlantis are under the water here.

Some of these are the entertainment of the novelists, while others are compilations of pseudonymous semi-scientists in the horror film line based on unreleased and unproven rumors.

But where is the truth, and more importantly, who has the authority to tell the truth? Is this Triangle really a dangerous place? Are we making an accurate description of the mystery location in the Bermuda Triangle? How can a plane or a bird disappear without a trace?

The Deadly Game of the Stream

The second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, published in February 1964, is the encyclopedic source for the first time featuring the phrases "Bermuda Triangle" or "Devil's Triangle". The phrases were used in the article "Argosy" i.e. large merchant ships, creating a cross-border exaggeration around the description of a mythic Bermuda Triangle. The official dimensions of the Triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico-San Juan, and USA, Florida-Miami. However, when we review the events, we notice that they have been crossed out of this border, and they spread out into the North Atlantic. They are sometimes found in the Eastern Pacific, in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Gulf Stream current comes first among the currents that pass or affect the Bermuda Triangle. The current runs from the tip of Florida to Britain. The Gulf Stream is behind the formation of the famous fog of London, and the Gulf Stream is the reason for the moderate climate in many European countries and Canada. The Gulf Stream is a strong current, meaning it is strong enough to propel many birds and novice sailors into the sea. It can even push a large ship in front of the currents, first pushing north, to the east of Florida and up to the Bahamas. In the Florida Strait, which separates Florida and the Bahamas, the direction and speed of the current changes and it accelerates and heads north in turbulence. What does this mean? A ship that goes upstream will head east and then northeast. If we are watching or observing the ship along the shore, we can see it quickly or rapidly over a short distance, and then we watch the ship disappear over the horizon in a short period of time. What's worse is that even if the ship is turning west, it's still being pushed by the current to the northeast. That is, the Gulf Stream could lead novice sailors or weak boats in their direction. It is impossible for a small canoe moving with a shovel to escape the current.
