The USS Cyclops (AC-4) was a United States Navy cargo ship that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle on March 4, 1918, with a crew of 309. The ship was en route from Barbados to Norfolk, Virginia, and was never heard from again. The disappearance of the Cyclops is one of the most famous and enduring mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle.
The Cyclops was a collier, which means that it was a ship designed to carry coal. It was built in 1910 and was one of the largest ships in the U.S. Navy at the time of its disappearance. The ship was 542 feet long and had a displacement of 19,000 tons. It was powered by a steam engine and could reach a speed of 15 knots.
The Cyclops left Barbados on March 4, 1918, with a crew of 309 officers and men. The ship was carrying a cargo of manganese ore, which is used in the production of steel. The Cyclops was also carrying a large amount of fuel oil.
The ship was scheduled to arrive in Norfolk on March 11, 1918, but it never arrived. The Navy launched a search for the Cyclops, but the ship was never found.
There have been many theories about what happened to the Cyclops. Some people believe that the ship was sunk by a German submarine. Others believe that the ship was caught in a storm and sank. Still others believe that the ship was abducted by aliens.
The disappearance of the USS Cyclops remains one of the greatest mysteries of the sea.
