What do Crun, Bannister, and Co., the Deptford Shipwrights, know of the mystery of the Marie Celeste? And why is Admiral Bloodnok so anxious to withhold Admiralty charts from Neddie Seagoon? And who is the mysterious philanthropist offering £5,000 for information about the Marie Celeste? And did Crun, Bannister and Co. really build the missing ship? And who were the original members of the crew masquerading under the pseudonyms of Bluebottle, Throat, Bogg, Eccles, Yakamoto, Eidelburger, Headstone and Grytpype-Thynne? We shall see!
