USS Cyclops and SS Marine Sulphur Queen

Even though there have been over 200 disappearances, two of the main ships that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle were the USS Cyclops, and the SS Marine Sulphur Queen. The USS Cyclops was a navy ship that was built to keep a mobile battle fleet supplied with fuel. The USS Cyclops went into the water in 1817, the ship had coal and cargo supplies that the Navy needed in wartime events. In early march 1918, the ship went down as they were passing through the Bermuda Triangle. The ship was never found after it was returning from a voyage to Brazil.
The other ship that disappeared is the SS Marine Sulphur Queen. The SS Marine Sulphur Queen was the first liquid sulfur tanker to ever hit the water. The ship was leaving from Beaumont, Texas and heading for Norfolk, Virginia. When they were headed towards Norfolk the ship lost all signals about 200 miles off of Key West, Florida. This puts the ship in the Bermuda Triangle. The ship disappeared some time after she left Texas on February 2, 1963 and February 7, 1963, when the ship did not make it to Virginia. Its a mystery as to what happened or where the ship is today.
