jud Posted May 25, 2014 Share #2642 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Don't think she made it that far if memory serves. Once was adrift in a LCVP in that triangle, good and bad seamanship involved. jud Edited May 25, 2014 by jud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Wellington Posted May 25, 2014 Share #2643 Posted May 25, 2014 Thats the one Eamonn, you got it. Was trying to be sneaky there with the dazzle camouflage. USS Cyclops (AC-4) was one of four Proteus-class colliers built for the United States Navy several years before World War I. The loss of the ship and 306 crew and passengers without a trace within the area known as the Bermuda Triangle[1] some time after 4 March 1918 remains the single largest loss of life in U.S. Naval history not directly involving combat. As it was wartime, there was speculation she was captured or sunk by a German raider or submarine, because she was carrying 10,800 long tons (11,000 t) of manganese ore used to produce munitions, but German authorities at the time, and subsequently, denied any knowledge of the vessel. The Naval History & Heritage Command has stated she "probably sank in an unexpected storm" but the actual cause is unknown. egkb 1 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

CaptainSteve Posted May 26, 2014 Share #2660 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) You have it, Eamonn ... that's the name I was looking for. Over to you. EDIT: She was lost in the Straits of Malaysia in 1957 ... either due to storms or pirates ... a year after Dad left service with her. The wreck (as posted) re-appeared to the north of Tasmania some years later. By co-incidence, less than 50 miles from where he currently lives !!
