Sheppard-Pratt Hospital. Soon after the United States joined World War I in 1917, Dr. Asper enlisted into the United States Navy. He served as First Lieutenant and Assistant Surgeon on the USS Cyclops, which was commissioned May 1, 1917 as a collier (a ship that carries coal to fuel other ships). At the time, the Cyclops was one of the largest fuel ships in the world and spent most of the war along the Eastern Coast of the United States. l The USS Cyclops in October 1911. Image from Naval History and Heritage Command National Museum of the U.S. Navy. Available at: https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/nmusn/explore/photography/ships-us/ships-usn-c/uss- cyclops.html. On February 16, 1918, the ship left the East Coast for Brazil to help fuel British ships. After completing this mission, the Cyclops began sailing with a load of manganese from Rio de Janeiro. The ship stopped at Salvador before leaving for its final port of Baltimore on February 20, 1918. Due to a cracked cylinder in the engine, an unexpected stop was made in Barbados, where the already overloaded ship took on more coal and water. Nothing could be done to fix the damaged engine in Barbados, so the Cyclops set sail for Baltimore on March 4, 1918. Sometime after leaving Barbados, the Cyclops sank in the Bermuda Triangle leaving no trace of the ship or the 309 passengers on board. To this day, the ship’s final resting spot has not been found and the cause of the Cyclops disappearance remains a mystery. Throughout history there have been several theories (some realistic others fanciful) about the sinking of the ship.

  • The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved")
    THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE Bermuda was once known as 'The Devil's Isle', now there is a 'Devil's Triangle' Once upon a time….. as Atlantis sank beneath the waves in the West Atlantic, the Devil scrambled ashore onto the last island, and surveyed his diminished Kingdom. He feared and envied the continent to his West and vowed to wreak revenge. So he gobbled up all who entered the space he decreed to be his own. The Ellen Austin was his first victim in 1818. She came across a derelict ship, placed on board a prize crew. The derelict disappeared. Lloyd's of London did not list any casualties at that time. Supposedly, a large number of men who were placed on board a derelict had also disappeared. USS Cyclops went next resulting in the largest loss of life in the history of the US Navy not related to combat. She went missing without a trace and a crew of 309 sometime in March, 1918, after departing the island of Barbados in the Lesser Antilles. Unbelievers explained away the incident as due to over loading with heavy cargo, causing structural failure. A five-masted schooner built in 1919, the Carroll A. Deering was found hard aground and abandoned at Diamond Shoals, near Cape Hatteras North Carolina on January 31, 1921 This was during 'Prohibition' and it was thought that she this due to the illegal rum-running trade. SS Hewitt, disappeared at roughly the same time. Was she involved? The Devil knew better. Flight 19 was a training flight of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared on December 5, 1945; their flight plan was scheduled to take them due east from Fort Lauderdale for 141 miles.

    International Journal of Research in Education, Science and Technology VOL 3 NO 1. California Dr. Luke M. JOHN The Theories and Fatality of Bermuda Triangle By Dr. Luke M. JOHN Department of Science Education Faculty of Education University of Sheffield Sheffield, south Yorkshire, England United Kingdom ABSTRACT The study strategically assessed the Bermuda triangle a region of the North Atlantic Ocean (roughly) bounded by the southeastern coast of the U.S., Bermuda, and the islands of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico). The exact boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are not universally agreed upon. Approximations of the total area range between 500,000 and 1,510,000 square miles (1,300,000 and 3,900,000 square kilometers). By all approximations, the region has a vaguely triangular shape. Although reports of unexplained occurrences in the region date to the mid-19th century, the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” didn‟t come into use until 1964. The phrase first appeared in print in a pulp magazine article by Vincent Gaddis, who used the phrase to describe a triangular region “that has destroyed hundreds of ships and planes without a trace. “many theories have been conducted and findings have been made by scientist which reveals that the disappearance at the Bermuda Triangle have not been as a result of any humans errors but a weather phenomenon and forces from the sea. the study recommended that Scientist should try to leverage the menace caused by the Bermuda Triangle by providing measures that can reduce the forces that sinks ships and flight, or stoppage should be made to deny access into the areas covered by the Bermuda Triangle.

  • The Bermuda Triangle Many People Believe That the Bermuda Triangle Is One of the Most Supernatural Places on Earth
    The Bermuda Triangle Many people believe that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the most supernatural places on earth. Let’s explore why this hub of ocean mysteries may have earned such a scary reputation. Where Is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is not a set place: it is an area of the Atlantic Ocean between 500,000 – 1,510,000 square miles in size. It can be found between the coasts of Florida, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda. This hot spot of activity regularly sees a many ships and aircrafts travelling through it. Why Is the Bermuda Triangle so Famous? Stories of strange activity within the Bermuda Triangle date back hundreds of years. Some of the earliest are the stories told by Christopher Columbus and his crew. During his first journey across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, Columbus reported many strange sightings within the Bermuda Triangle. The first of these was that the stars appeared to move around in the sky. Another was that Columbus saw a light (like that of a candle) moving up and down in the distance. When he asked his crew to look at the light, it vanished and reappeared many times. The most unusual thing that Columbus says that he saw was a glowing object coming out of the water and shooting towards the sky. Many people think that this must have been a light on the shore or from another ship. However, some people believe that Columbus saw a UFO. Did You Know...? Two 14-year-old boys boarded a small boat to go fishing in July 2015.

Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean.

  • How the Bermuda Triangle Works
    How the Bermuda Triangle Works You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozens of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance. Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire. In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what we do know about the area as well as some of the most commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations. Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.

  • Bermuda Triangle
    Non-chronological report The Bermuda Triangle – also known as the Devil’s Triangle – is one the world’s greatest, unsolved, oceanic mysteries! This area of ocean is well-known due to the regular disappearance of ships and aeroplanes that have occurred in these parts without anyone being able to establish why! Where is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle does not actually have an exact, geographical location; however, it is generally considered to be positioned between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean. Covering between 500,000 and 1.5 million square miles, this area is also unusual because magnetic compasses operate differently to normal when within this zone. There is only one other place on the planet that causes magnetic compasses to act in such a way! Despite being shrouded in such mystery and supernatural occurrences, the Bermuda Triangle encompasses some of the most well-travelled shipping lanes and flight paths, with many people suggesting that the strange reports have been exaggerated for dramatic effect! The history of the Bermuda Triangle. Peculiar tales have been told of this stretch of water for hundreds of years! The earliest documented incidents were recorded by famous explorer, Christopher Columbus, who reported seeing strange sights whilst voyaging across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in 1492. Christopher Columbus grammarsaurus.co.uk Non-chronological report Initially, he wrote in his log about a great flame of fire that hurtled through the sky before crashing into the ocean, which he claims to have witnessed aboard the deck of the Santa Maria! It is now presumed that it was probably a meteorite, but it clearly made an impression on the explorer.
