For those who dont want to search on wiki, Briggs was the cpt of a ship called the Mary Celeste. he had to ship a cargo of 1700 barrels of industrial alcohol. A ship who was following it, the Dei Gratia, finaly concluded that the ship was drifting. No distress signal, no life on board, every ship's paper gone exept for the captain's logbook. The lifeboat was gone and 9 barrels where empty. Some says that the captain saw the barrels empty and tought that the ship could explode if the gas was to enter in contact with fire. This is only speculation, and the fact is that the life boat was never found and this case still remain a mystery.
Maybe that Harris searched information about this man with the name «benjamin breeg» instead of «benjamin briggs». He felt stupid of something like that and decided to keep the name?
anyway... can't wait anymore for the rest of this album!!!
I've found noting about a Benjamin Breeg, but a Benjamin Briggs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Briggs ) It seems to have some match point.
