Google made the experience available to every Google user, allowing us to view astonishing images of the ship which is at a depth of about 20 meters.
Mary Celeste was a paddle ship that was sunk in a mission where it had to carry ammunition for the Confederate forces in the American Civil War. The ship has a length of approximately 75 meters and was built in Liverpool by William C. Millier & Sons.
Although it carried ammunition during the war, the ship was created for another purpose. Before departing for its last mission, Mary Celeste carried cotton and food. According to the history, the crew managed to survive the shipwreck. You can view the wreck and other underwater locations on the Google Oceans page.
