### 4. **Piracy or Foul Play**
The idea of piracy has long fascinated storytellers, but itâs largely dismissed by historians.
There were no signs of violence. No stolen valuables. No damage consistent with an attack.
Similarly, theories involving mutiny or murder lack supporting evidence.
The shipâs condition simply doesnât match what one would expect from such scenarios.

Of course, no mystery this enduring escapes the realm of the supernatural.
Over the years, theories have included everything from sea monsters to alien abduction.

Still, the eerie nature of the discoveryâthe silence, the stillness, the absence of lifeâmakes it easy to see why such theories persist.
