Tuesday, November 5, 1872 is the date upon which Mary Celeste set sail on the half brig's most famous, most mysterious voyage. The hermaphrodite brig in question made a two-day stop off Staten Island, because of stormy weather, before leaving New York on Thursday, November 7, 1872. Burnett, a harbor pilot who guided the part barkentine part schooner through the Verrazzano Narrows, saw Mary Celeste depart in an easterly-south-southeasterly direction toward Atlantic Ocean shipping routes, for an ultimate delivery location of Genoa, Italy.
