The Cuban Coast Guard has discovered a ship in the Caribbean that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle almost a century ago. On May 18, Cuban authorities announced the discovery by the coast guard of an old ship without a crew in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. According to their information, the found vessel is the famous American steamship SS. "Cotopaxi", missing in the Bermuda Triangle on December 1, 1925.
Cuban authorities recorded the appearance of the ship on May 16. Then he suddenly appeared west of Havana in a no-navigation zone. After lengthy unsuccessful attempts to contact the ship's crew, three patrol boats of the Cuban Coast Guard were sent to intercept it.
Approaching the target, the border guards were shocked by what they saw. The ship was rusty and obviously very old. They were even more surprised when they boarded the ship - there was no crew on it and desolation reigned everywhere. It was immediately obvious that the ship had been abandoned for decades.
Later it turned out that the discovered steamship was built a hundred years ago and is a legend of the Bermuda Triangle. It turned out that the found ship was the same SS. "Cotopaxi", which mysteriously disappeared in 1925.
During the inspection of the ship, a diary of the captain, who was serving at the Clinchfield Navigation Company at the time of the ship's disappearance, was found on board. The authenticity of the logbook was confirmed by an expert from Cuba, Rodolfo Cruz Salvador. He said that the logbook contained a lot of valuable information about the daily life of the crew, but unfortunately, it did not provide any clues regarding the disappearance of the ship and its crew.
The document describes interesting details recorded before the ship disappeared. The last entry in the logbook was made on December 1, 1925. It was on this day that SS. Cotopaxi sent a distress signal and stopped communicating. Since then, for almost 90 years, there has been no news about the ship. On December 31, 1925, she was added to the register of missing persons and, despite the fact that in her last message the crew reported that the ship was sinking, she became part of the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
At sea SS. Cotopaxi left the port of Charleston, South Carolina on November 29, 1925. At the time of departure, there were 32 sailors on board the ship, led by Captain Mayer. The ship was supposed to deliver 2,340 tons of coal to the capital of Cuba, Havana, but for an unknown reason it disappeared under unknown circumstances two days after leaving the port.
Since there is no information about the whereabouts of the cargo ship in the last 90 years, the Vice President of the Council of Ministers of Cuba, General Abelardo Colomé, promised that the authorities of his country will conduct an investigation to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance and reappearance of the mysterious ship.
Recall that the Bermuda Triangle covers the area between Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico. Dozens of planes and ships disappeared unknown in this area, the fate of most of which is still unknown. Ufologists blame supernatural forces, including the machinations of alien civilizations, as the culprits of these mysterious disappearances.
However, these theories are popular mainly among the people, but scientists do not recognize them and explain all the anomalies of the Bermuda Triangle by human errors in the control of aircraft and ships, and all sorts of natural phenomena.
But the mysterious appearance of the legendary SS. "Cotopaxi" has aroused great interest in scientific circles and it should force many experts to reconsider their beliefs on this issue, because the sudden return of the ship after 90 years of absence cannot be explained by natural phenomena and human errors.

Let's expose! A ship that disappeared 90 years ago has appeared in the Bermuda Triangle? June 13th, 2015
Do you recognize the boat on the sea waves?
And here is the filming process itself. This scene takes place in Mongolia, in the Gobi Desert, where among the sands, according to the scenario, the Cotopaxi ship, long missing in the Bermuda Triangle, without a crew, turned out to be.
The finale of the picture represents the contact of earthlings with extraterrestrial intelligence, the prelude to which was a melody of 5 notes played on a huge luminous organ from the Indian city of Dharamsala - a kind of greeting from earthlings to brothers in mind. This long and detailed process was observed by both the numerous scientists and military personnel involved in this secret operation, as well as by Roy and Gillian. After “reconnaissance” of small luminous points, the main alien ship arrived here, from the depths of which came all the once missing people - the pilots of the squadron that disappeared thirty years ago (who did not age at all), the crew of the Cotopaxi, the son of Gillian, etc. This symphony of the cosmic The brotherhood ended with small aliens coming out to the earthlings, and from the entire team of volunteers, which the earthlings had prepared, anticipating such a turn of events, they took with them only Roy Neri.
And here it is in LJ). This is what is claimed...
Havana (Cuba) - On the morning of May 18, 2015, the Cuban Coast Guard reported that it had discovered a ship without a crew. This ship is believed to be an SS.
Cotopaxi, which disappeared without a trace in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle back in December 1925.
Cuban authorities spotted the ship on May 16, 2015, when it suddenly appeared in a no-navigation zone west of Havana.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact the crew, three patrol boats were mobilized to intercept the mysterious vessel.
When the patrol boats reached the target area, their crews were quite surprised that the ship was very old, built 100 years ago and registered as Cotopaxi. In addition, this ship is quite famous, as it is a legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
There was no one on board the ship, and its interior looked as if it had been abandoned for decades. Everything indicates that this is most likely the same SS.
"Cotopaxi", which mysteriously disappeared in 1925.
November 29, 1925 SS.
Cotopaxi left the port of Charleston in South Carolina to sail to Havana. On board the ship was a crew of 32 sailors, commanded by Captain Mayer. The ship was supposed to deliver 2,340 tons of coal to the capital of Cuba.
Two days after departure, the ship disappeared and nothing was heard of it for the next 90 years. Vice-President of the Council of Ministers, General Abelardo Colome said that the Cuban authorities will conduct an investigation and try to solve the mystery that surrounds the disappearance and reappearance of the mysterious ship.
The Bermuda Triangle covers the area between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. It is known that dozens of ships and planes disappeared in this area under mysterious circumstances. Many scientists and ufologists consider various supernatural phenomena, including the machinations of aliens, to be the culprits of these numerous disappearances. However, despite the popularity of these strange theories, most scientists do not recognize the anomalies of the Bermuda Triangle, but point to human errors and various natural phenomena.
However, it is believed that the appearance of the mysterious SS.
Cotopaxi has generated a lot of interest in the scientific community and is sure to prompt some experts to reconsider their positions on this issue.

A mysterious story, isn't it? But if it is mysterious, this does not mean that it did not take place. And I began to “dig deep into the Internet.” What we managed to find out right away: the first photo was photoshopped.
Here is the original image from the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
Of course, there were no official signals from the Cuban Coast Guard, nor were they received on any other media. The people mentioned in the message are not real.
The World News Daily report quotes a man named Rodolfo Salvador Cruz, but the photo for illustration is actually a man named Lee Smail from Plymouth in the UK taken from a local article about him, and is in no way related to this fictitious story.
The Bermuda Triangle - an area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded by Florida and Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas - is famous for the mysterious, mystical disappearances of ships and aircraft. For many years, it has brought real horror to the world's population - after all, stories about inexplicable disasters and ghost ships are on everyone's lips.
Numerous researchers are trying to explain the Bermuda Triangle anomaly. These are mainly theories of ship abductions by aliens from outer space or inhabitants of Atlantis, movement through holes in time or faults in space and other paranormal reasons. None of these hypotheses have yet been confirmed.
Opponents of the “otherworldly” versions argue that reports of mysterious events in the Bermuda Triangle are greatly exaggerated. Ships and aircraft disappear in other areas of the globe, sometimes without a trace. A radio malfunction or the suddenness of the disaster may prevent the crew from transmitting a distress signal.
In addition, searching for debris at sea is a very difficult task. Also, the Bermuda Triangle area is very difficult to navigate: there are a large number of shoals, and cyclones and storms often form.
A hypothesis has been proposed to explain the sudden death of ships and aircraft by gas emissions - for example, as a result of the disintegration of methane hydrate at the bottom of the sea, when the density is so low that the ships cannot stay afloat. Some suggest that methane rising into the air could also cause plane crashes - for example, due to a decrease in air density.
It was suggested that the cause of the death of some ships, including in the Bermuda Triangle, could be so-called wandering waves, which can reach a height of 30 meters. It is also believed that infrasound may be generated at sea, which affects the crew of a ship or aircraft, causing panic, causing people to abandon the ship.
Let's consider the natural features of this region - truly extremely interesting and unusual.
The area of the Bermuda Triangle is just over a million square kilometers. There are huge shallows and deep-sea trenches, a shelf with shallow banks, a continental slope, marginal and median plateaus, deep straits, abyssal plains, deep-sea trenches, a complex system of sea currents and intricate atmospheric circulation.
There are several seamounts and hills in the Bermuda Triangle. The mountains are covered with powerful coral reefs. Some seamounts rise alone on the ocean floor, while others form groups. In the Atlantic Ocean, by the way, there are significantly fewer of them than in the Pacific.
Here is the Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean. Its depth is 8742 meters.
Under the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle there are mainly sedimentary rocks - limestones, sandstones, clays. The thickness of their layer ranges from 1-2 to 5-6 kilometers.
The smaller (southern) part of the triangle belongs to the tropical seas, the larger (northern) to the subtropical. The water temperature on the surface here ranges from 22 to 26 ° C, but in shallow water, and so
in bays and lagoons it can be significantly higher. The salinity of the waters is only slightly above average - except, again, in shallow waters, bays and lagoons, where salinity can increase. The waters here are noticeably warmer than in other parts of the ocean at the same latitudes, since this is where the warm Gulf Stream flows.
The current in the Bermuda Triangle is fast, complicating or slowing down the movement of ships sailing against it; it pulsates, changes speed and location, and the changes are absolutely impossible to predict; it creates irregular vortices that affect the weather, some of them of considerable strength. There is frequent fog at the border between its warm waters and the colder surrounding waters.
The trade winds blow over the triangle - constant winds blowing in the Northern Hemisphere in a south-westerly direction, at an altitude of up to 3 kilometers. At high altitudes, anti-trade winds blow in the opposite direction.
In the southern part of the triangle, roughly between Florida and the Bahamas, there are approximately 60 storm days per year. In fact, every fifth or sixth day there is a storm. If you move north, towards Bermuda, the number of stormy days per year increases, that is, there is a storm every fourth day. Destructive cyclones, hurricanes, and tornadoes are very frequent.
All this contributes to the fact that many ships and aircraft disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Maybe the reason is not so mystical? But this cannot be said with certainty, since many unexplained mysteries remain.
A LOT of ships and even planes disappear in the Bermuda Triangle, although the weather is almost always good at the time of the disaster. Ships and planes die suddenly, crews do not report problems, and no distress signals are sent. The wreckage of aircraft and ships is usually not found, although intensive searches are carried out, with the involvement of all relevant services.
The Bermuda Triangle is often credited with disasters that actually happened far beyond its borders. We have selected the most famous confirmed victims of the Bermuda Triangle among ships.
"Rosalie"
In August 1840, near the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau, the French ship Rosalie was discovered drifting with sails raised without a crew. The ship had no damage and was quite seaworthy. It looked as if the team had left Rosalie hours ago.
"Atalanta"
On January 31, 1880, the British training sailing ship Atalanta departed from Bermuda, carrying 290 officers and cadets. On the way to England it disappeared, leaving no trace. 
"Atalanta"
This case was in the center of public attention, the Times wrote about it daily, even many months after the disappearance of the sailboat.
The Times (London), April 20, 1880, p. 12: “The Avon gunboat arrived in Portsmouth yesterday.” The captain reported that near the Azores he noticed a huge amount of floating debris... The sea was literally teeming with them. The harbor of Faial Island was filled with ships that had lost their masts. And during the entire five days that the Avon remained in the Fayal roadstead, the wreckage became more and more numerous.
However, there was no evidence that any ship sank or was broken up by a storm... Some of the Avon's officers believe that the Atalanta may have struck an iceberg, but they categorically deny that the ship could have capsized."
Lawrence D. Cousche published in his book excerpts from newspaper articles, official reports from the British Admiralty, and even the testimony of two sailors, according to which the Atalanta was a very unstable ship and, with its 109 tons of water and 43 tons of ballast on board, could easily capsize and drown even during a mild storm.
It was rumored that there were only two more or less experienced officers in the crew, who were forced to remain in Barbados because they fell ill with yellow fever. Consequently, 288 inexperienced sailors sailed on the ship.
Analysis of meteorological data confirmed that severe storms had been raging in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and Europe since early February. It is possible that the ship sank somewhere very far from the Bermuda Triangle, since out of the 3,000 miles of travel that awaited it, only 500 passed through the “triangle.” And yet, Atalanta is considered one of the confirmed victims of the “triangle”.
Unidentified abandoned schooner
In 1881, the English ship Ellen Austin encountered an abandoned schooner in the open ocean, which had fully retained its seaworthiness and was only slightly damaged. Several sailors boarded the schooner, and both ships headed for St. John's, located on the island of Newfoundland.
Soon the fog fell and the ships lost sight of each other. A few days later they met again, and again there was not a single living soul on the schooner. The captain of the Ellen Austin wanted to land another small rescue crew on the schooner, but the sailors categorically refused, claiming that the schooner was cursed.
This story has two sequels with different versions. In the first version, the captain of the Ellen Austin tried to transfer another rescue crew onto the schooner, but the sailors did not want to take any more risks, and the schooner was left in the ocean.
According to another version, the second rescue crew was nevertheless transferred to the schooner, but then a squall hit, the ships dispersed a considerable distance from each other, and neither the schooner nor its second crew was ever seen again.
Joshua Slocum and his yacht
Joshua Slocum, who was the first in the history of mankind to sail around the globe alone, disappeared without a trace in November 1909, making a relatively short journey from the island of Martha's Vineyard to the shores of South America - through the Bermuda Triangle.
Sailing yacht "Spray" 
On November 14, 1909, he left the island of Martha's Vineyard and from that day there was no news of him. In the opinion of those who knew Captain Slocum, he was too good a sailor, and the Spray too good a yacht, for them to be unable to cope with any of the usual difficulties that the ocean can throw at them.
No one knows for sure what happened to him, although there was no shortage of guesses and versions. There are “reliable” testimonies of some sailors who, even after the fateful date, saw Slocum alive and unharmed in various ports of the world.
Over the years, many hypotheses have been proposed to explain its disappearance. After all, there might have been a hurricane so powerful that it sank his yacht. The "spray" could burn. He could go down if he collided with some ship at night.
In coastal waters, a collision between a small boat and a large ship is not that uncommon. The lights on a sailing yacht are usually quite dim, sometimes not visible due to its own sails. A large vessel could easily smash a 37-foot floor into splinters, and no one would even feel a shock.
Edward Rowe Snow, in his book “Mysterious Events Off the Coast of New England,” claims that a mail steamer with a displacement of about 500 tons ran into the yacht. Even the court, which examined a variety of evidence, was involved in Slocum’s “case.” According to the testimony of Victor Slocum's son, his father was in excellent shape, and the yacht was practically unsinkable.
It was even suggested, unconditionally accepted by some “experts,” that Joshua Slocum was allegedly not happy in his marriage and therefore staged a disaster in order to hide and spend the rest of his days in solitude.
March 1918 "Cyclops"
On March 4, 1918, the cargo ship Cyclops with a displacement of 19,600 tons departed from the island of Barbados, carrying 309 people and a cargo of manganese ore. The ship was 180 meters long and was one of the largest in the US Navy.
"Cyclops" on the Hudson River, 1911 
It was headed to Baltimore, but never arrived there. It never sent an SOS signal and left no trace. At first it was assumed that the ship could have been torpedoed by a German submarine, but at that time there were no German submarines there. According to another version, the ship hit a mine. However, there were no minefields here either.
The US Department of the Navy, after a thorough investigation, released a statement: “The disappearance of the Cyclops is one of the largest and most intractable cases in the annals of the Navy. Even the exact location of the disaster has not been established, the causes of the disaster are unknown, and not the slightest trace of the ship has been found.
None of the proposed versions of the disaster provides a satisfactory explanation of the circumstances under which it disappeared.” President Woodrow Wilson said that “only God and the sea know what happened to the ship.” And one magazine wrote an article about how a huge squid emerged from the sea waters and carried the ship into the depths of the sea.
In 1968, Navy diver Dean Haves, part of a team searching for the missing nuclear submarine Scorpion, discovered the wreck of a ship at a depth of 60 meters, 100 kilometers east of Norfolk. Later looking at a photograph of the Cyclops, he assured that it was this ship that lay at the bottom.
“Cyclops” still appears on the pages of print and not only as one of the characters in the Legend of the Bermuda Triangle. It was the first major ship equipped with a radio transmitter to disappear without sending an SOS signal, and the largest US Navy vessel to disappear without leaving any trace.
Every year, in March, when the next anniversary of his disappearance is celebrated, articles about this mysterious event are written again, old theories are updated and new theories are put forward, and, probably for the hundredth time, the already famous photograph of the “Cyclops” is published. His disappearance continues to this day, not without reason, to be called “the most insoluble mystery in the annals of the navy.”
"Carroll A. Deering"
The five-masted schooner Carroll A. Deering was discovered in January 1921 on Diamond Shoals. She had no damage, the sails were raised, there was food on the tables, but there was not a single living soul on board, except for two cats. 
The Deering crew consisted of 12 people. None of them were found, and it is still unknown what happened to them. On June 21, 1921, a bottle with a note was caught in the sea, which, presumably, could have been thrown by one of the crew members:
“We are prisoners, we are in the hold and handcuffed. Report this to the company board as soon as possible.”
Passions flared up even more when the captain's wife allegedly recognized the handwriting of the ship's mechanic Henry Bates, and graphologists confirmed the identity of the handwriting on the note and on his papers. But after some time it was discovered that the note was forged, and the author himself even admitted this.
The forensic investigation, however, revealed important facts: on January 29, the schooner passed the lighthouse at Cape Lookout, North Carolina, and gave signals that it was in a dangerous position, having lost both ship's anchors.
Then the schooner was seen north of the lighthouse from another ship, and it behaved rather strangely. Weather reports for early February indicate a severe storm off the coast of North Carolina with winds reaching 80 mph.
"Cotopaxi"
On November 29, 1925, the Cotopaxi left Charleston with a cargo of coal and headed for Havana. Passing through the center of the Bermuda Triangle, it disappeared without leaving the slightest trace and without having time to send an SOS signal. Neither the wreckage of the ship nor the crew were found.
"Suduffco"
The cargo ship "Suduffco" left Port Newark, New Jersey, and, heading south, disappeared without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle. A company spokesman said it disappeared as if swallowed by a giant sea monster.
The ship sailed from Port Newark on March 13, 1926, heading for the Panama Canal. His port of destination was Los Angeles. It carried a crew of 29 and a cargo weighing approximately 4,000 tons, including a large shipment of steel pipes.
The ship moved along the coast, but already on the second day after sailing, contact with it was lost. The search for the vessel continued for a month, but not the slightest trace was found. True, meteorological reports and testimony from the captain of the Aquitaine liner, which was heading the same course towards the Suduffco, confirm that a tropical cyclone passed through this area on March 14-15.
"John & Mary"
In April 1932, 50 miles south of Bermuda, the Greek schooner Embyrkos discovered the two-masted ship John and Mary. The ship was abandoned, its crew mysteriously disappeared.
"Proteus" and "Nereus"
"Proteus" 
At the end of November 1941, the Proteus sailed from the Virgin Islands, followed by the Nereus a few weeks later. Both ships were heading to Norfolk, but neither of them arrived at their destination, both disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The US was preoccupied with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on Japan, so the disappearance of the ships did not cause a response. A post-war study of the German naval archives showed that the Proteus and Nereus could not have been sunk by submarines.
"Rubicon"
On October 22, 1944, a ship without a crew was discovered off the coast of Florida. The only living creature on board was a dog. The ship was in excellent condition, except for the missing lifeboats and a broken tow rope hanging from the bow of the ship.
Personal belongings of the crew members also remained on board. The last entry in the ship's log was made on September 26, when the ship was still in the port of Havana. The Rubicon apparently sailed along the coast of Cuba.
"City Bell"
On December 5, 1946, a schooner without a crew was discovered at sea. She followed a course from the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau, to one of the islands of the archipelago - Grand Turk. Everything was in order on the ship, the lifeboats were in their places, only the crew disappeared without a trace.
"Sandra"
In June 1950, the 120-meter cargo ship Sandra, loaded with 300 tons of insecticides, left Savannah (Georgia) for Puerto Cabello (Venezuela) and disappeared without a trace. The search operation began only after it was established that he was six days late to his place of arrival.
By the way, an article about this case, written by journalist E. Jones and published on September 16, 1950, aroused great interest in the Bermuda Triangle. Jones noted that the Sandra is not the only ship that has disappeared here. The legend of the deadly triangle began to spread with incredible speed.
"Southern District"
In December 1954, the tank landing ship Southern District, converted into a cargo ship for transporting sulfur, disappeared in the Straits of Florida. No distress signals were detected either by ships at sea or by coastal stations. Only a life preserver was found.
The Southern District vessel, displacing 3,337 tons, was sailing from Port Sulfur, Louisiana, with a cargo of sulfur to Bucksport, Maine. The destination was Portland.
The captain made contact on December 3 and then on December 5, already off the coast of Florida. Everything was in order on the ship. On December 7 he was seen in storm surges off Charleston.
The investigative commission found that the ship apparently sank in a northeast wind. In areas where the Gulf Stream dominates, this wind has a bad reputation because it blows directly against the current, turning the Gulf Stream into a turbulent gurgling current, and even large ships are in a hurry to get out of its path.
"Snow Boy"
In July 1963, a 20-meter fishing vessel disappeared while sailing from Kingston, Jamaica, to the Pedro Keys in clear weather. There were forty people on the ship, no one heard anything more about them. It was reported that wreckage of the ship and items belonging to crew members were found.
"Whichcraft"
A mysterious disappearance occurred during the Christmas holidays of 1967. Two people on a small yacht left Miami Beach for a walk along the coast. They say they wanted to admire the festive illumination of the city from the sea.
Soon they radioed that they had hit a reef and damaged the propeller, they were not in danger, but they asked to be towed to the pier, and indicated their coordinates: at buoy No. 7.
A rescue boat arrived at the site 15 minutes later but did not find anyone. An alarm was declared, but the search did not yield any results; neither people, nor the yacht, nor the wreckage were found - everything disappeared without a trace.
"El Carib"
On October 15, 1971, the captain of the cargo ship El Carib, sailing from Colombia to the Dominican Republic, announced that they would arrive at their destination port at 7 a.m. the next day. After this, the ship disappeared. It was a fairly large cargo ship, the flagship of the Dominican merchant fleet, its length was 113 meters.
The ship was heading to the port of Santo Domingo with a crew of thirty people. It was equipped with an automatic alarm system, which in the event of an accident automatically sends a distress signal over the air. Judging by the latest report, the ship was in the Caribbean Sea at the time of its disappearance, at a considerable distance from Santo Domingo.
