Benjamin Briggs
Benjamin Spooner Briggs (April 24, 1835 – probably November 1872) was an experienced United States seaman and master mariner. He is famous today for being the Captain of the merchant ship ''Mary Celeste'' when she was discovered unmanned and drifting in the Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar, on December 4, 1872. The lifeboat was missing, yet the ''Mary Celeste'' herself was still under sail and there were signs of a sudden and unexplained abandonment. Benjamin Briggs, his wife Sarah and two-year-old daughter Sophia Matilda, along with the crew of the ''Mary Celeste'', and the lifeboat, were never found and presumed lost.
==Maritime career==
The Briggs family of Massachusetts had a long maritime connection, and Benjamin Briggs himself spent most of his life at sea. He was an experienced, hardy and able seaman. He reportedly was respected by those who served under him because of his fairness and ability. He worked his way to eventually become a master mariner. Briggs captained the brigantine ''Sea Foam'', and in 1862 became master of the three-masted schooner ''Forest King''. When he took command of the bark ''Arthur'' in 1865, he turned over command of the ''Forest King'' to his brother, Oliver Briggs. Oliver Briggs was a frequent business partner and sailor with his brother.
