What the record says
Puzzle 74 ran on 21 Sep 2026 and the answer was Mary Celeste, played with 6 guesses against 7 columns. On the record: Type - sail; Flag - Canada. The numbers: Launched - 1860; Length - 31 m. 3 of the 7 columns are blank in the source (Tonnage, Status and Builder), so nobody could score them either way.
The photograph is by Unconfirmed, possibly Honore Pellegrin (1800–c.1870). This speculative attribution is suggested in Paul Begg: Mary Celeste: The Greatest Mystery of the Sea . Longmans Education Ltd, Harlow (UK) 2007. Plate 2, licensed Public domain.
