The Cuban Coast Guard reported, that they had captured an unmanned ship heading for the island, which is dared to be the SS Cotopaxi, a tramp steamer which vanished in December 1925 and has since been associated with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
The Cuban specialists detected the ship surprisingly on May 16, close to a limited military zone, west of Havana. They made numerous unsuccessful endeavors to speak with the team, lastly prepared three watch vessels to block it.
When they achieved it, they were amazed to find that the ship was really an about 100-year old steamer recognized as the Cotopaxi, a name broadly connected with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. There was nobody on board and the ship appeared to have been surrendered for a considerable length of time, recommending this could really be the tramp vessel that vanished in 1925.
A comprehensive inquiry of the ship prompted the disclosure of the chief’s logbook. It was, surely, related with the Clinchfield Navigation Company, the proprietors of the SS Cotopaxi, yet hasn’t conveyed any sign concerning what happened to the ship in the course of the most recent 90 years.
Cuban master, Rodolfo Salvador Cruz, trusts that the chief’s logbook is credible. This report is brimming with valuable data concerning the life of the team before the ship’s vanishing, yet the sections stop all of a sudden on December 1, 1925.
On 29 November 1925, the SS Cotopaxi withdrew Charleston, South Carolina, and headed towards Havana, Cuba. The ship had a group of 32 men, under the summon of Captain W. J. Meyer, and was conveying a payload of 2340 tons of coal. It was accounted for missing two days after the fact, and was incomprehensible for very nearly 90 years.
The Vice President of Council of Ministers, General Abelardo Colomé, declared that the Cuban experts would lead an intensive examination to explain the secret of the ship’s vanishing and return.
“It is critical for us to comprehend what happened” says General Colomé. “Such episodes could be truly terrible for our economy, so need to ensure that this sort of vanishing doesn’t occur once more. The time has come to fathom the riddle of the Bermuda Triangle, for the last time.”
The Bermuda Triangle is an approximately characterized locale covering the territory between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, where many ships and planes have vanished under puzzling conditions.
Pop culture has ascribed a large number of the vanishings to paranormal and heavenly marvels, or to the movement of extraterrestrial creatures..
One clarification, even sticks the fault on extra innovation from the legendary lost landmass of Atlantis.
Regardless of the ubiquity of all these unusual speculations, most researchers don’t perceive the presence of the Bermuda Triangle, and accuse human slip-ups and regular marvels for the vanishings.
The baffling return of the SS Cotopaxi has, in any case, as of now produced a considerable measure of enthusiasm for established researchers and could push a few specialists to alter their opinion regarding the matter.
Where do you suggest to go to verify this. I realize that Snopes is hyper-biased politically but I don’t see any reason to doubt them on this non political story.
All Cuban ships look like they’re 90 years old.
Not a lost vessel. It’s the flagship of the current Cuban Navy.
I had never seen it ;-)
On a related note, I don’t think anyone has ever come up with a good explanation of what happened to the people on the Mary Celeste.
That story has always creeped me out.
That was a cool scene.
Funny thing is, I think there are similar vessels grounded on the floor of the Aral Sea. A sea that the Soviets drained to provide water for the surrounding regions fields.
I think they’re trying to recharge the sea by diverting water back to it, but it’s an uphill climb now that the damage is done.
People are so gullible. You would need a room temperature IQ to buy this foolish story after viewing the picture. It’s no wonder so many people fall for the liberal lies. This world doesn’t stand a chance.
WHO THE HECK WROTE THIS?
No way. A steel ship would not float that many years in salt water without maintainence. I expect satellites can see all large ships afloat.
The boat looks to be grounded, not afloat.
According to Wikipedia, the ship radioed a distress call on December 1, 1925, reporting she was listing and taking on water in a tropical storm. I am assuming the ship simply sank in the storm. How does that translate into “disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.”?
Paul McCartney too?

It seems the article was processed through Google Translate a few times.

I think this happened on “X-Files” too.......
Nice catch. I should not be surprised it’s in the Gobi Desert.

...Paul did not pass away under conspiratorial circumstances
Picture is from the Canary Islands in 1981. This should clarify it.
