Felt an earthquake at sea ??

Have any of the board members felt an earthquake while at sea ?

IIRC, sundry yachties report alarming thumps, bangs etc resembling whale-strike, especially near the Azores.

This has been given as plausible explanation for historical abandonment of 'Marie Celeste', with its gassy barrels of alcohol. IIRC, another sailing ship later reported 'incident' logged in same area around probable date..

'Powered' ships probably have enough 'internal' noise to mask such phenomena, but ...
If you cannot see the wood for the trees, deploy LIDAR.
