The icons below represent just a sampling of the many vessels that have utterly vasnished in the Bermuda Triangle. This list is only partial, and has been compiled from Coast Guard reports, US Navy reports, National Archives and Records Administration, and Merchant Vessels of the United States Registry. These are not compiled from “popular accounts” or old books. These vessels were sailing in fair weather. For an example of Gian’s method of research, see this link. For a more detailed account of these vessels, please consult his new book on The Bermuda Triangle, published by McGraw-Hill. While this web site can give some indication of the incredible amount of missing vessels and aircraft, it is not possible to detail the entire phenomena of the Bermuda Triangle except in print.
Many US warships are listed missing by the US Navy between 1780 and 1824, including the General Gates, Hornet, Insurgent, Pickering, Wasp, Wildcat and Expervier. Her disappearance in 1815 delayed the closing of the War of 1812. She carried the peace proposal on board.
The Rosalie was indeed a real ship. She was built in 1838 of 222 tons of wood. In 1840 she was found deserted but in ship shape near the Bahamas. She was not the Rossini.
Ellen Austin was also a real ship. And her encounter with an unnamed deserted vessel in 1881 in the Triangle is based on reliable witnesses. More.
