The Bermuda Triangle has a history of disappearances starting almost 400 years ago with the mysterious sinking of The Sea Venture in 1609 just off the coast of Bermuda. Although ships were much more fragile in the 17th century and were constantly being lost to the sea due to the weather conditions The Sea Venture was constructed to handle the terrible storms of the Atlantic yet it could not hold up to the strange weather in the triangle. What was even more strange and added to the mystery, was the wreck of the rescue boat which was sent after The Sea Venture. These two incidents may have been the beginning of the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
