The Bermuda Triangle is known for the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes. Today, some people believe this area sees an unusually high number of unexplainable incidents. However, there is no evidence that incidents occur more frequently in the Bermuda Triangle than in other well-traveled areas of the ocean. Still, there are documented disappearances of both aircraft and ships in the area. Some notable ones are listed below.

USS Cyclops

One of the most well-known disappearances is that of the USS Cyclops. In March 1918, with more than 300 men onboard, the Navy cargo ship vanished somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. Despite being equipped to do so, the Cyclops never sent out a distress signal and no wreckage was ever found. Regarding the incident, President Woodrow Wilson said, “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship.” In 1941, two sister ships also disappeared along nearly the same route.
