In March 1918, a massive U.S. Navy collier carrying over ten thousand tons of manganese ore steamed into the western Atlantic.The USS Cyclops was equipped with a state-of-the-art wireless transmitter capable of reaching shore stations hundreds of miles away. Yet as the vessel crossed into the notorious waters of the Bermuda Triangle, the radio fell dead. Not a single distress call, Morse tap, or flare was ever sent.On board were 306 crewmen and passengers. When the ship failed to arrive in Baltimore, the United States Navy launched one of the largest sea searches in its history, scouring thousands of square miles of open ocean for wreckage, debris, or oil slicks.They found nothing. No floating life rafts, no wreckage, and not a single body.
