The USS Cyclops

On March 1918, the collier left the Barbados island as it was supposed to do but who would have thought that it was the last time the ship will ever sail. This massive ship was nearly 550 feet long, was sailing with a 309-man crew and still remains the biggest mystery that scratches several heads even today. There was an article in Santa Fe about the sudden disappearance of the Cyclops: “Usually a wooden bucket or a cork life preserver identified as belonging to a lost ship is picked up after a wreck, but not so with the Cyclops,” they wrote. “She just disappeared as though some gigantic monster of the sea had grabbed her, men and all, and sent her into the depths of the ocean, and the suddenness of her destruction is amplified by the absence of any wireless calls for help being picked up by any ship along the route.”
