The Ghost Ship

A ship lost nearly a century ago amidst a storm in the curious and wrathful waters of the Bermuda Triangle resurfaces near the coast of Florida – The S.S Cotopaxi. While planes and ships that went in the Devil’s Triangle never came out, this bold piece of metal was simply spotted by Michael Barnette (an accomplished diver, author, photographer and founder of the Association of Underwater Explorers) while diving ten years ago, in 2010. But his claims of spotting the very legendary S.S Cotopaxi were not believed by many, though his tales gained immense popularity on various social platforms. After years of thorough research and investigation, it was confirmed by Michael Barnette that it was true – the S.S Cotopaxi had unbelievably made a comeback.

The S.S Cotopaxi was a real coal ship that went missing on November 29, 1925 while traveling from Charleston to Havana with 3,800 tons of coal and 32 passengers. The disappearance contributed to the enduring myth of the Bermuda Triangle—the section of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico blamed for dozens of disappearances.

Here is the very intriguing mystery underlying in this – while no ship that challenged the supernatural forces of the Bermuda Triangle ever made its way out, or was even seen again, this particular ship was spotted drifting after 95 years! Another thing to ponder about – Why hadn’t it been spotted earlier when it was simply existent in that spot? The ship was unmanned, no remains of any persons – they vanished into thin air.

What is the hidden message in the sudden and surprising appearance of the S.S Cotopaxi after 95 years? Why are there no remains of people on the ship? Why was this the only ship to come out of the Bermuda Triangle?  - these questions are still discombobulating many. I am indubitably flabbergasted by the uniqueness of this mystery – it is an enigma even science failed to answer.
