Theories Of The Mary Celeste

No one knows what happened to Amelia Earhart for sure, but there are some theories and hypothesis and what may have happened to her. The three main theories are: The Crash and Sink theory, The Gardner Island Hypothesis, and the theory that the Japanese captured Amelia.

Submarine divers were sent to Havana to find out the cause of this tragic event. The divers soon found 260 men dead from the explosion. Dynomite experts learned that the explosion was no accident. This was an intentional doing. There was some overheard conversation that there was a plot to blow up the ship. The United States naval forces discovered that there was a mine in the harbor that caused the explosion.

On the 7 May 1915 at 14:30, then 240 metre long and 27 meter wide ship

My favorite history experience has to do with the movie called “The Titanic.” Not just the movie but the actual event happening. I wish I could have been there and survived the experience to be able to tell the amazing, life changing story. The movie and the actual sinking of the ship affected me in many ways. I think it also affected the way we make our boats today. When I seen this movie and realized not only how much the world has changed since the titanic happened, but the way we think and how we build things differently.

The Sulphur Queen was a 523-foot tanker that was originally intended to carry oil, but was converted to carry sulphur. On Feb. 3, 1963, the ship sent a radio report that placed it 230 miles southeast of New Orleans, La., according to a report by Time Magazine. Then nothing. There was no SOS and no warning of trouble. The ship simply disappeared.Two weeks later, pieces of a raft, a life vest and a broken oar washed up on Florida beaches. An investigation launched by the Coast Guard shortly after the disappearance concluded that the vessel was nowhere near seaworthy and likely caught fire at sea. Such a conclusion was not far-fetched. According to the article, "once, the Queen actually sailed into a New Jersey port with fires smoldering, unloaded her cargo, and sailed off again -- still burning."

There are many theories on what happened to Amelia Earhart but which ones are true? Nobody really knows for sure what happened to her but there are many theories on what happened.

the sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those who were still alive were gravely ill. They were

​“The war to end all wars” was what people called it. Others called it “The Great War”. Many people died in this war. And there was really no right or wrong in this war; meaning that I don’t think there really was a side that was wrong or right, and I’m going to explain why further in this essay. I think both sides were wrong in things, but in the end, Germany was the one that suffered the most because they were being forced to pay billions dollars in the war debts, and let the French control a rich mine for well over 15 years. But before that Germany and the Britain’s were at war with each other. And Germany sent out a warning to everyone saying that every ship crossing the war zone line (which was the

The source is valuable for understanding how the sinking of the Lusitania caused violence within Liverpool. The source suggests that one reason why the riots occurred was due to public outrage. O’Mara states that that the ‘names of the drowned’ were ‘appalling’. This is supported by the fact that Liverpool was ‘Lusitania’s home port’. This would have caused locals to feel personally attacked by the sinking of the Lusitania. To add, the majority of those who were lost in the sinking were from the Merseyside. Over 150 of those who died were from the city of Liverpool, this would have added to the rage of the riots as the tight-knit community would have known people affected by the sinking, O’Mara goes on to talk of the ‘cries of the women whose

After the explosion, the yellow press proclaimed that “The Maine was destroyed by treachery”. Although there is no evidence to support their assertion, but this assume give a possible explanation of the explosion, and successfully make a lot of people believed in it. Not only one press, but a lot of yellow press start making rumours about this explosion and they are announcing “The warship Maine was split in two by an enemy’s secret infernal machine”. These announcement make people think that the Spain government is behind this thing.

How could someone survive a plane crash? Trying to explain what had happened to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, theories were developed. For the purpose of these theories, some people either believe that Japanese troops kidnapped Earhart, she died as a castaway, or that she lived under another identity. In the end, Amelia Earhart did survive her attempted voyage around the world.

At 9:40 pm on February 15 1898 a massive explosion rocked the Maine, soon after there was a second one. The Maine sunk almost immediately. Unfortunately the explosions happened in the front of the ship close to the living quarters of the men. Out of the 354 men on board 266 died from the blasts. Many others were injured terribly.

They died because of complications with the ship. The ship had poor ventilation, which made the men on the ship open up the hatches. The hatches were not supposed to be opened, so as a result of the men opening them anyway, that caused the ship to sink even faster. Also, the ship was rushed into service to deliver the bomb to Tinian. The ship’s repairs were still incomplete, and the crew did not have

First, I think that Captain Aimee Le Medec is ultimately to blame because he abandoned ship. He could of prevented the explosion through many different ways such as opening the hatches or turning the boat back to sea. Instead he did none of these. In addition Captain Aimee Le Medec blatantly ignored putting the red flag up on the Mont Blanc. For 20 minutes crowds collected around Halifax Harbour to watch the billowing smoke filled with sparks and fire as the Mont Blanc drifted towards the wharf. If the red flag was up then these people would have been warned that there were munitions on board and the people would of had a chance to run from the wharf. Finally I that Captain Aimee Le Medec is ultimately to blame because he could have moved the ship towards port when the Mont Blanc encountered the Imo in the narrow harbour. Instead he entered a state of shock, ordering the crew to abandon ship. I feel that Captain Aimee Le Medec never took initiative to stop this tragedy which he should feel ashamed

The explosions caused great damage. The Indianapolis took on a heavy water. Twelve minutes later, she rolled completely over, then her stern rose into the air, and she plunged straight down into the ocean. Some 300 of the 1,196 crewmen went down with the ship. With very scarce lifeboats and many without lifejackets, the remainder of the crew were set adrift. The navy blamed the sinking on the captain which was Butler McVay. They blamed this on him because he did not use a zig zagging maneuver. Which would have prevented this tragic
