10 Lunatic
Jure Šterk was an experienced sailor who single handedly sailed around the world between 1991 & 1994 Throughout his sailing career he crossed the Pacific Ocean once the Indian Ocean twice & the Atlantic Ocean a staggering eight times. In December 2007, when he was 70 years old, Šterk embarked on a journey around the world on his sail boat. His only form of communication was an amateur radio & the last time he checked in was on January 1st, 2009.
9 Tai Ching 21
On November 9th 2008, the Tai Ching 21, a 50 ton Taiwanese fishing vessel, was found adrift in the Pacific Ocean, near Kiribati. The last transmission from the ship had been made on October 28th. The Tai Ching 21 was empty, all 29 crew members were gone. One strange thing is that no mayday call had been put out. An area of the ocean north of Fiji, measuring around 21,000 square miles, was searched by US & New Zealand aircrafts but no trace of the ship’s captain or crew was ever found.
8 Jian Seng
This 260-foot tanker was spotted by an Australian Coastwatch airplane in 2006. The vessel was drifting in the Gulf of Carpentaria, around 110 miles south-west of Weipa, Queensland. Several documents were found indicating that the tanker was called ‘Jian Seng’, although a number of identifying features, including the name had been painted over. The engines were inoperable & the boarding party was unable to restart them which lead them to the conclusion that the Jian Seng had been adrift for a very long time.
7 High Aim 6
On January 8th 2003, the High Aim 6 was discovered drifting in Australian waters, around 80 nautical miles from Rowley Shoals. The ship was sailing under an Indonesian flag & had been registered in Taiwan. No crew members were found onboard despite the fact that the ship had plenty of provisions & fuel. The High Aim 6 had been sighted five days before it was boarded. At that time the motor was functional & the ship was underway.
6 Resolven
Sailors from the HMS Mallard found the Resolven merchant brig drifting at sea on August 29th 1884. They tried ignaling its crew but didn’t get a response & decided to board the ship. They found that all Resolven crew members were gone even though there were signs that the ship had recently been lived in.
5 Sea Bird
The grounded Sea Bird was discovered at Easton Beach, Rhode Island in 1750 or 1760. The Sea Bird appeared to have been abandoned in sight of land. Food was laid on the table & coffee was boiling on the stove in the galley.
4 Baychimo
The Baychimo became trapped in an ice pack, near the town of Barrow, Alaska. The ships cargo consisted of furs & when the crew returned to retrieve them the ship had broken free. On October 8th 1931, the vessel became mired again & some of the crew were taken by aircraft while 15 men stayed behind. They intended to wait out the winter. The Baychimo didn’t sink. It was spotted many times over the next few decades.
3 Koreas Ghost Boats
Over one hundred ill-equipped small wooden boats were discovered in Japanese waters between 2013 & 2017. The only clues regarding their origin were signs written in Korean. The most troubling aspect of this discovery were the contents of the mysterious vessels. Nobody knows what happened to the sailors, who were all dressed in civilian clothing.
2 Carrol A. Deering
The Carrol A. Deering became derelict in unknown circumstances on January 28th 1921 after passing a Cape Lookout lightship in North Carolina. Three days later the ship was found run aground on Diamond Shoals, off the coast of Cape Hatteras. Its crew was gone, along with their belongings, the ship’s log & navigation equipment.
1 Mary Celeste
The Mary Celeste is perhaps the most famous abandoned ship in history. Since it was discovered adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, it has been the inspiration for numerous documentaries, plays, films & novels. On November 7th 1872, the Mary Celeste left New York City & set sail for Genoa, Italy, with a cargo consisting of over 1,700 barrels of alcohol. 10 people were onboard, including Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs, his wife Sarah & their two-year-old daughter Sophia Matilda. During the course of the next two weeks, the vessel reportedly encountered harsh weather. The last log entry was marked November 25th & indicated that the Mary Celeste was approximately 9 nautical miles from the Azores Islands.
