Bonus Episode: Ghost Ships! A Kids Listen Halloween Sweep

The Past and The Curious: A History Podcast for Kids and Families

Have you heard of the Mary Celeste? If you've heard of a ghost ship, this is probably the one. In 1872 it was found under sail in the Atlantic Ocean but with absolutely no one on board. What gives? And was this completely unique? It wasn't, but it is certainly the most famous case and we wanted to know more! Also featuring and original performance of one of our favorite songs "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler in 1932. Mick Sullivan plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, washboard, bass harmonica and probably some other stuff too.
