SPRAY - A 30 something foot vessel owned and sailed by Joshua Slocum. A world famous sailor and the first
man to sail around the world in a small boat. He is the author of the book "Sailing Alone Around the World".
"Among the Missing" - Jay Robert Nash
The yawl SPRAY left Martha's Vineyard on November 14th with Joshua Slocum at the helm, he was considered
one of the best sailors in the world at that time. No sources.

"More Haunted Houses" - Richard Winer & Nancy Osborn Ishmael
Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world in a small boat. At one point during that three year
voyage he became sick. As he lay in his cabin a storm hit but he was too sick to go topside and shorten the
sails. He says he lost consciousness for some hours, after he awakened the storm was still raging. Looking out
of the companionway Slocum saw a man at the helm holding the SPRAY on a steady course in spite of the
wild sea. The man was dressed in clothing from centuries past and introduced himself as being a member of
Columbus' crew. No less than the pilot of the PINTA. He said he had come to guide Slocum's ship that night.
When Slocum woke up the next morning, he had recovered enough to go on deck. The gale had become calmed
a bit and the sun was shining. The man was nowhere to be found. Everything that had not been secured had
been washed away. The sails were still set, but under the circumstances should have been very damaged due
to the storm, also the SPRAY had made 90 miles that night right on course. No sources.


"Psychic in the Devil's Triangle" - James Paul Chaplin.
SPRAY was a 36 foot yawl skippered by Joshua Slocum who wrote the book "Sailing Alone Around the World"
He sailed from Martha's Vineyard sometime in the autumn of 1909 heading for Miami. On November 14th he left
Miami possibly headed for the West Indies and was never seen again. No sources.

"The Bermuda Triangle" - Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffery
Listed as a 36' sloop. Reports the boat had been inspected at Herreshoff Works in Bristol, Rhode Island by Nat
Herreshoff himself who said it was in top shape. No trace of the SPRAY was ever found. No sources.

"The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved" - Lawrence David Kusche
The SPRAY, a 37' yawl set sail from Martha's Vineyard on November 14th heading for South America. Rumors
of Slocum having possible health problems, also some question as to the sea worthiness of the SPRAY. Reports
of various sightings of the SPRAY and Slocum throughout South America.

"The Cousteau Almanac" - Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Slight mention of the incident.


"The Devil's Triangle" - Richard Winer
Listed as a 36' 9" yawl with a beam of 14' 2". Lists the same story of Slocum's first voyage around the world
and the phantom pilot of the PINTA. (see the "More Haunted Houses" listing above.) Also states that Slocum
could not swim. He was 65 when he sailed from Miami on November 14th, never to be seen again. No Sources.

U.S.S. NINA - US Navy Steam Tug Boat. The first steamship on record to vanish in the triangle.
"The Devil's Triangle" - Richard Winer, Page 66
Departed Norfolk navy yard March 15th, 1910 bound for Havana Cuba to serve as a support ship for the salvage
operation for the battleship MAINE. The tug was last seen off Savannah, Georgia steaming south. It was never
seen again. This is the first steam powered navy vessel lost in the triangle. No sources.


"Without a Trace" - Charles Berlitz,
First steamship to vanish in the triangle. Disappeared somewhere south of Savannah Georgia.

COORDINATES: 27032.3, 42450.7
The USS Niña, a 4th rate iron screw steamer, was laid down by Reaney, Son, and Archbold, Chester, Pennsylvania in 1864.
The 137 foot-long tug was launched 27 May 1865, delivered to the New York Navy Yard 26 September 1865, and placed in service
as a yard tug at the Washington Navy Yard 6 January 1866. The Niña operated as a yard tug for the Washington Naval Gun Factory
through May 1869 and was then converted to a torpedo boat. The ship served as a torpedo boat at Newport through 1883, refitting in
May 1884 for special service, and next operated from August to October salvaging the wreck of sidewheel gunboat Tallapoosa, which had
sunk in Martha's Vineyard Sound. From 1885 to 1889, Niña served in various capacities at New York Navy Yard, and then returned to Newport from 1890 to 1891.

The converted tugboat returned to New York Navy Yard in 1892 to resume her original duties, continuing her yard work and towing services there for a decade.
Niña was next loaned to the Lighthouse Department to verify aids to navigation near Puerto Rican waters to protect the Fleet conducting Winter maneuvers
from October 1903 to April 1904. The Niña was ordered converted into a submarine tender on 28 December 1905. On 25 May 1906, she arrived at the Newport Naval Torpedo Station,
and following a year's service, was assigned as tender for the 1st Torpedo Flotilla. For the next four years, she served with the Atlantic Fleet's infant submarine force in its
pioneer coastal operations form Newport to Annapolis and Norfolk. From 1 December 1908 to 22 February 1909, she participated in the great Review in Hampton Roads following
the return of the Great White Fleet from its globe girdling cruise and joined submarines in exercises off the Virginia coast.

The USS Nina ultimately foundered at sea during a storm on 6 February 1910. Sitting in 80 feet, she was rediscovered in 1977. Many artifacts including the bell,
portholes, lanterns, and Morse diving equipment were recovered soon thereafter. Towards the bow, personal effects can still be recovered by digging where the crew's
quarters used to be. The stern is not as prominent as the bow, being close to the sand.

U.S.S. CYCLOPS - This is one of the classic Bermuda Triangle disappearances. Volumes have been written
about this vessel, and the more that come to light, the more confusing and mysterious it becomes. Two of her
sister ships the PROTEUS and the NEREUS disappeared on almost the same route in 1941. The loss of those
two ships was overshadowed by the onset of World War II. Click here for a list of the 21 officers and 285
enlisted men officially listed as dead on June 14th, 1918.The ironclad steamer KICKAPOO carried the name
CYCLOPS from 15 June to 10 August 1869, then was renamed KEWAYDIN.The second Cyclops, a collier,
was launched 7 May 1910 by William Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., and placed in service 7 November 1910,
G. W. Worley, Master, Navy Auxiliary Service, in charge. Operating with the Naval Auxiliary Service, Atlantic Fleet,
the collier voyaged in the Baltic during May to July 1911 to supply 2d Division ships. Returning to Norfolk, she operated
on the east coast from Newport to the Caribbean servicing the fleet. During the troubled conditions in Mexico in 1914 and
1915, she coaled ships on patrol there and received the thanks of the State Department for cooperation in bringing refugees
from Tampico to New Orleans.
With American entry into World War I, Cyclops was commissioned 1 May l917, Lieutenant Commander G. W. Worley in command.
She joined a convoy for St. Nazaire, France, in June 1917, returning to the east coast in July. Except for a voyage to Halifax,
Nova Scotia, she served along the east coast until 9 January 1918 when she was assigned to Naval Overseas Transportation Service.
She then sailed to Brazilian waters to fuel British ships in the south Atlantic, receiving the thanks of the State Department and
Commander-in-Chief, Pacific. She put to sea from Rio de Janiero 16 February 1918 and after touching at Barbados on 3 and 4 March,
was never heard from again. Her loss with all 306 crew and passengers, without a trace, is one of the sea's unsolved mysteries.

"Among the Missing" - Jay Robert Nash, Picture of the CYCLOPS on page 381
A 19,600 ton, 502" Navy collier that vanished en route from Barbados to Norfolk Virginia on March 4 1918 with 307
crew and passengers on board. On of the largest ships afloat at the time. Never seen again. No sources.

"Limbo of the Lost-Today" - John Wallace Spencer
A 14,500 ton, 540' Navy collier built in 1910. Left Bahia Brazil on January 28th, 1918 with a cargo of Manganese.
Word War I was also in progress at the time. First stop was Georgetown, British West Indies on March 3rd to
take on coal. On March 4th she headed out to sea bound for Norfolk Virginia with one of two engines damaged.
The CYCLOPS had a sister ship called the ORION. This book covers various theories as to what happened.

"Psychic In the Devil's Triangle" - James Paul Chaplin, Page 23
A 19,000 plus ton Navy fuel supply ship built in 1910. It left Norfolk in January of 1918 bound for U.S. warships
off the east coast of South America, with a cargo of coal, mail and other supplies to refit the warships. Captain
George W. Worley was in command of the ship, and had been ever since her commission in 1910. It had been
quite an eventful last voyage for the CYCLOPS. She had almost collided with the U.S.S. SURVEY leaving Norfolk,
then a short while later a head had blown off one of her engines. The rest of the voyage would have to be made
with one engine. Entering the port at Rio de Janeiro on January 28th, 1918 she almost went onto the rocks. One
crewman was killed by the propellers and she was damaged by the cruiser U.S.S. RALEIGH while offloading
coal.( I think I would have called it quits at this point and headed back home. - byerly ) She took on 11,000 tons
of Manganese ore while in Rio. There is some speculation as to whether she was overloaded or improperly loaded.
Five prisoners involved in a murder on the U.S.S. PITTSBURGH were also taken on board the CYCLOPS as well
as some others from the PITTSBURGH. The CYCLOPS left Rio bound for Bahia, Brazil - date unknown. She
arrives in Brazil on February 21st, 1918. Counsel General Alfred L. M. Gottschalk arrives onboard to be taken back
America. CYCLOPS leaves Bahia on February 22nd, 1918 bound directly for Baltimore by direct order. Against
orders Captain Worley puts in outside Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown in Barbados. Worley requests coal and money
to make it back to Baltimore. Some questions arise as to whether the supplies are really needed. The American
Counsel in Barbados fills Worley's requests. In two days she sets off for Baltimore and vanishes.

"The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved" - Lawrence David Kusche
Listed as a 542 foot, 19,600 ton U.S. Navy Collier with 309 men and a load of Manganese ore at the time of her
disappearance somewhere between Barbados and Baltimore/Norfolk. In 1941 two of her sister ships the NOREUS
and the PROTEUS disappeared on almost the same route. The CYCLOPS was one of the biggest ships afloat
at the time. She vanished with no trace, no S.O.S. and no debris. Captain Worley had 28 years with the navy
and had been the ship's master since she was built in 1910. There was documentation of engine trouble onboard.
She was the first large ship equipped with radio. The Navy called the search off in May of 1918 for the ship. There
is documentation of a storm hitting the general area of the CYCLOPS at that time.

"The Bermuda Triangle" - Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey, Page 77
A 14,500 ton U.S. Navy fuel ship bound for Norfolk, Virginia. Submerged wreckage found at the time of this books
writing could possibly be the CYCLOPS as she had a very unique superstructure.

"The Devil's Triangle" - Richard Winer, Pages 85, 97 - This book has pictures of the CYCLOPS
the PROTEUS and the NOREUS, as well as one of Captain Worley.
A 19,000 ton coaling ship with the crew listed as 308 men and 309 men. It left Norfolk with a cargo of coal, mail
and supplies to refit a fleet of U.S. warships operating of the east coast of South America in January of 1918. ( This
version paints the captain as quite a tyrant and a poor navigator. - byerly ) Captain George W. Worley had was
in command of the CYCLOPS since the ship was built back in 1910. On her final voyage she almost collided
with the U.S.S. SURVEY leaving Norfolk, she blew a head on one of the engines, and had to complete the
mission with only one engine, she passed the port of Rio de Janeiro and almost went aground on rocks due to
changes Worley made on some navigation charts, a seaman was killed by the propeller and after the coaling the
the cruiser RALEIGH, the CYCLOPS scraped the side of the ship causing some damage. In Rio some prisoners
were taken onboard involved with a murder which had taken place on the U.S.S. PITTSBURGH. ( good detail as
to the murder onboard the U.S.S. PITTSBURGH - byerly) Also some men were being taken back who where
friends of the prisoners aboard the CYCLOPS. The CYCLOPS loaded about 11,000 tons of Manganese Ore from
a bulk cargo dock, evidently after loading, the Plimsoll Mark was under water, which signifies overloading, but
nothing was done about it. After a couple of days she set sail for Bahia, Brazil. On February 21st she was seen in
Bahia Harbor by witnesses. She appeared ship shape with everything stowed and chained down for sea. It was
reported that the ship may have entered the harbor from the north, when it should have been arriving from the
south. More possible evidence of poor navigational skills onboard. The ship may have overshot the harbor and
had to backtrack to find it. CYCLOPS was ordered to leave Bahia on February 22nd and proceed to Baltimore.
Prior to the ships departure, Counsel General Alfred L. M. Gottschalk came onboard for transport to the U.S. No
Homeward Bound Pennant was flown as is Navy tradition. The starboard engine repaired in Rio had again broken
down, limiting the ship to a sustained speed of 8 knots. It was reported that Worley was drinking to excess.
Against orders Captain Worley orders the CYCLOPS to put in at Carlisle Bay, Barbados on March 3rd. The small
harbor would not accommodate the ship so she was at anchor 1 mile off shore. Brockhols Livingston, the United
States Counsel General at Barbados went out to the ship, Worley stated that the reason he had stopped there
was that he was in need of money, coal and other supplies to make it home. Supposedly when CYCLOPS left
Bahia it was outfitted with everything it needed for the return voyage back home. Worley possibly asked for a
large store of foodstuffs despite protests by Livingston as to price and availability. The Ship departed on March
4th with the requested supplies. However, it was observed that the ship steamed south after leaving anchor, the
wrong way for Baltimore. Radio contact was exchanged between CYCLOPS and the British liner VESTRIS on
March 5th. The CYCLOPS was never heard from again. She was reported overdue by the U.S. Navy on March 13.
Page 114 of this book has Livingston's reply to the Navy's telegram of inquiry and a list of extra provisions supplied
to the ship. It also mentions discrepancies in quantities.
