In 1863 it crossed the Atlantic for the first time, and collided with another ship in the English Channel. Four years later, in 1867, it ran aground on Cape Breton Island, off the Canadian coast. The ship was almost completely wrecked and had to be rebuilt. It was then sold and the name was changed to the 'Mary Celeste'.

4. How many times did it collide with other ships?
