The Deadly Disappearance of the USS Cyclops

What happened to the USS Cyclops inside the Bermuda Triangle in 1918? It’s the deadliest noncombatant Naval disaster in history.
Welcome Rich Napolitano from the Shipwrecks and Seadogs podcast! Rich drops by to talk about what we know about this ship, and to discuss the MANY things that still remain a mystery.
The USS Cyclops vanished without a trace inside the Bermuda Triangle in 1918. Nothing was ever recovered from the ship: not a scrap of metal, not a body, nothing.
What exactly happened to that ship, and its more than 300 crew members, is a mystery, even today.
Rich dives deep on the details of the ship, what was happening in history at the time, and even tells a story about forgery from the ship's post office (um, I literally just learned these ships had post offices?).
The National Archives has the ship engineering drawings for the Cyclops, and these records matter because they might be the only tangible, solid thing left about this ship in the whole world.
