One of Bermuda Triangle’s greatest mysteries has been solved as it’s most famous lost ship has finally been found. On Nov. 29, 1925, the SS Cotopaxi left port in Charleston, South Carolina heading for Havana, Cuba with a cargo of coal, but she never arrived. The last messages sent out were wireless distress signals with their position on December 1st, 1925, two days after it left Charleston, according to the New York Post.
After that, the ship and its thirty-two man crew seemed to have just vanished. Nothing was found floating nearby, and no identifiable wreckage washed up anywhere. To further fuel the mystery, it was lost in the Bermuda Triangle, an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean also known as Devil’s Triangle or Hurricane Alley. It is a loosely defined region where a number of aircraft and ships are believed to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Now however the mystery has been revealed as the Cotopaxi was recently discovered thirty-five miles off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida in water one hundred feet deep; it’s even more surprising to find out that the diving community has known about the wreckage for thirty-five years.
According to The Mirror, Michael Barnette, a marine biologist with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service and member of the team that explored the HMHS Britannic, did some deep digging into insurance records with the help of historian Guy Walters at Lloyd’s of London. He also checked weather records for the date in question and found that there was a big storm in the area which may have changed the vessel’s course away from the position reported in the ship’s distress signal.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
