Description

Today, we're diving into the enigmatic disappearance of the U.S.S. Cyclops, a naval mystery that has baffled sailors, historians, and explorers for over a century. This colossal ship, launched in 1910, had a distinguished career providing vital support during the U.S. occupation of Veracruz and World War I. However, on March 4, 1918, after departing from Barbados for Baltimore, the Cyclops vanished without a trace, taking with it 309 crew members and a full load of manganese ore. No distress signals were sent, and no wreckage was ever found, leaving behind a perplexing puzzle that still haunts naval history.Visit me online.
