Historians and researches have argued about mysterious disappearance of the Mary Celeste’s crew for many years. The reading passage gives us two possible explanations of this event. First explanation is that it happened because of the mutiny aboard the ship. It means that the Mary Celeste’s crew killed their strict captain Benjamin Briggs and his family. In order to reinforce this idea the author of the reading passage states that nine barrels of alcohol were used up. Perhaps, they drank it to take courage. The reading passage gives another concept as well. It tells us that Mary Celeste was a victim of piracy. Supporters of this idea suspect the ship that found Mary Celeste in doing that. They are asserting that ship that found the “ghost ship” took not a big amount of goods and killed all the people on the ship. Moreover, they collected a reward for finding a missing ship.
However, the listening passage reveals that both of the explanations from the reading passage are not plausible. It supported by saying that the captain, Benjamin Briggs, and his crew were respectful people who had a good reputation. Consequently, it is unlikely that it happened because of the mutiny. In order to eliminate the idea of piracy the listening passage says that the captain of the De El Garcia, ship that found Mary Celeste, was the friend of Benjamin Briggs’s. By the way, according to the listening passage there is no evidence to prove these two ideas.
Furthermore, the speaker came up with a new idea to explain the mystery of the Mary Celeste. The listening passage tells us that the crew of the “ghost ship” abandoned it due to danger of explosion. Followers of this idea claim that the barrels of alcohol that started to leak. Consequently, the members of the crew decided to leave the ship because they were afraid of the explosion. According to the listening passage, it is likely that all of them found death in the sea, after the abandoning the ship. They could have died because of the starvation, storm, drowning or they might have gotten lost.

Hello, I wrote this essay in 32 minutes. That is my problem. How can I write faster? THANKS A LOT!!!!!

The reading passage says that pirate theory is a possible explanation for the missing of Mary Celeste ship. But the lecture cast doubt on the reading by using a number of points and provide other possible thoery for the explanation of the missing of the ship.

First, the reading describes that there was a mutany abroad the ship and the crew killed the strict captain and and left the ship. However, this point is contradicted by the lecture. the lecture points out that the captain had a good retutation. He was respected person by the crew members. And the crew did not take their personal belongings from the ship.

Second, the reading says that the person who found Mary Celeste near Portugal may be responsible fro the missing of the ship. After taking valuable things from the ship, they killed the crew members to remove the evidence. In contrast, the lecture claims that the person who found the ship was a friend of the captain.

The lecture provide another possible explanation for the missing of the ship. The ship was carring largre amounts of alcohols. After leaking some of the alcohols they transport, they thought that there might be a explosion from alcohol. So, they abandoned the ship.

The discovery of the Mary Celeste ship, abandoned, with no crew on it, portholes open, missing goods and with no sign of violence, raises the mystery of his story. A few theories try to explain it but they are controversial.
One theory sustains the killing of the captain Benjamin Briggs by the crew and its escape on lifeboats with the missing goods, barrels of alcohol. Another theory states that the ship that found the missing boat killed the crew in order to get the reward for finding the ship.
The lecture contrasts both of the theories above explained in two points.
Firstly, captain Benjamin Briggs and his crew had a very good reputation and it’s hard to believe that such a mutiny might have happened.
Secondly, the captain of the ship who found the Mary Celeste was a great friend of Benjamin Brigg and there’s no possible reason why he should have killed him and his crew just for money.
Finally, the lecture introduces an alternative theory that might explain what really happened.
This theory has scientific bases, so it’s pretty believable; it theorizes that the ship was about to explode because of the licking alcohol from the barrels it was carrying and since the crew was inexpert on that issue, they decided to leave the boat and afterwards died by drowning or starvation

The reading and the listening passages are holding the various views about the mystery of the Mary Celeste boat. In the reading passage which is basing on the researching in many years, it inferred 2 possible cases that maybe cause the boat vanishing .First, the family of the captain were killed by the munity crew during the voyage. Another case was the starving of the value of the “ghost ship”, the crew of another ship which found out the “ghost ship” have killed the passengers and crew to remove the evidence. Otherwise, the speaker is quite different view with the writer, he said that there is no evidence that indicted the crew of another ship killed the people in “ ghost ship “.Moreover, he had more plausible sound about the exploiting alcohol while the ghost ship carried the barrels. The speaker said that was the first time they carried alcohol. There were 1701 barrel s, and another 9 barrels was licked during the voyage, that maybe cause the ship cached fire. The speaker insisted that the crew might fear and abandon the ship. Maybe, the starvation caused them die.

According to the reading passage, the mystery of the Mary Celeste or called the ghost ship was found to be intriguing according to the historians because they found the portholes and hatches open but they didn’t find any evidence of violence when they discovered the ship empty passengers and crews.

One theory was there ‘s a mutiny aboard and the crew killed the strict captain Benjamin Briggs and his family before throwing them overboard then leaving the ship in one of thee lifeboats.

Another theory was the ship and crews taking the ship to Portugal may have taken the valuable left in the ship and might have killed the crews and passengers of the ship then took the ship to Gibrastel to collect the reward for finding the ship..

The lecture argues about this, the captain of the ship Mr. Benjamin was a very good leader, a well respected person doubting that he was killed. Also, they did not find any missing personal items in the ship.

The probable reason might be because of the 9 alcohol barrels emptied out of 1701 in the ship might cause explosion and the powerful fumes caused the ship to explode thus they open the hole and hatches. They might have panicked that forced the people of the ship to go on lifeboats or have drowned or starved so they had disappeared.
