Bermuda Triangle: ship reappears 90 years after going missing

BERMUDA TRIANGLE: SHIP REAPPEARS 90 YEARS AFTER GOING MISSING



Havana| The Cuban Coast Guard announced this morning, that they had intercepted an unmanned ship heading for the island, which is presumed to be the SS Cotopaxi, a tramp steamer which vanished in December 1925 and has since been connected to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.

The Cuban authorities spotted the ship for the first time on May 16, near a restricted military zone, west of Havana. They made many unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the crew, and finally mobilized three patrol boats to intercept it.

When they reached it, they were surprised to find that the ship was actually a nearly 100-year old steamer identified as the Cotopaxi, a name famously associated with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. There was no one on board and the ship seemed to have been abandoned for decades, suggesting that this could actually be the tramp freighter that disappeared in 1925.

An exhaustive search of the ship led to the discovery of the captain’s logbook. It was, indeed, associated with the Clinchfield Navigation Company, the owners of the SS Cotopaxi, but hasn’t brought any clue concerning what happened to the ship over the last 90 years.

sorry pals, butthis storry was a joke for april or so,
anyhow let us all disappear and lets appear all the missing things of the
last 30000years, return all the stolen material and nonmaterial goodies of the people and have some more inspiration by the way...
Thrashing photons into your electronshells might nullify all gravitation around you...  

Thanks for pointing this out Eartheart. You are right about the fakeness of that article.

I think this is the all best story posted this year. Seriously, I think this return of the vanishing ship "ghost ship" should get the 2015 Best Post"....so far. The only thing that could have made it better would have better had it been reported a little closer to Oct 31.Ooooooo!!!!! I love it. I want to see follow up. We are talking Front Page headline.

Halloween is celebrated in the US on Oct 31. I think it might be called All Saints Day in some places. It is a day of ghosts, and goblins. It is also one in which little kids go trick or treating. It's a great time of the year for sitting around a campfire and telling ghost stories. This year we should all be required to include telling our grandchildren or the neighbors kid the "story of the steamer returning from the deep blue sea. Oooooo!!!! And its true. That is what makes it soooooooo cool!!!!
How do you think it happened? Did some alien mother ship pull this baby up from its grave??? Did some freak storm cause an underwater hurricane which brought it to the surface. When you tell the story, whatever you want to do with this, will be acceptable.

I thinking that I'll dress up like Black Beard the Pirate. ARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Mate. Shiver me timbers.....

That's it BB.  We have met in a bar or perhaps were in a bar room fight in a previous life.   You were a pirate and perhaps I was as well.  I know for certain that when I am out in the deep blue water, I get a haunting feeling that the sea has pulled me to the bottom of Davy Jones locker and there I stayed until my current reincarnation. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

SS Cotopaxi mystery: Ship missing since 1925 reappears in 2015 off Cuba coast

New reports over the stunning appearance of a ship that had mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle nearly 100 years ago, emerged in the blogosphere.

Cuban coast guard allegedly announced on 20 May 2015 that it intercepted a crewless ship heading towards country’s shore. Experts argue that it would be “SS Cotopaxi”, a tramp steamer which went missing in December 1925.

The disappearance of the cargo ship has been for long associated with the Bermuda Triangle. The Cubans spotted the vessel for the first time on May 16, 2015 when they tried to get in communication with the ghost crew. Since their efforts in this regards failed, they made their way to the deck four days later.

After getting on board, they noticed that it is indeed the nearly century old ship called SS Cotopaxi. And as obvious in such cases, there were no sailors on board. A logbook was also found but unfortunately there was nothing recorded over the mystery incident that occurred 90 years ago and led to the disappearance of the crew and the ship together.

All the records of the journal stop at 1 December 1925. On 29 November, Cotopaxi departed from Charleston, South Carolina heading for Havana, Cuba. The vessel had 32 sailors on board under the command of Captain Meyer and a cargo of 2340 tons of carbon. Two days later, the ship went missing after releasing distress signals. In the last radio communication, the crew reported that Cotopaxi was taking water while tilting to one side.

Now, Cuban Foreign Minister said that an inquiry into this event is made and the mystery created around the Bermuda Triangle stories should be untied, given that this area is increasingly more avoided by commercial ships, a situation which affects Cuba.

The Bermuda Triangle is an expanse of water in the Atlantic Ocean stretching between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda Islands.

Cotopaxi was 253 feet (77 m) long between perpendiculars, with a beam of 44 feet (13 m). Her steam engine could propel her at 9.5 knots (17.6 km/h). It was built by the Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse, Michigan, in 1918 for the Clinchfield Navigation Company.
