In the Bermuda triangle found the ship that went missing almost 100 years ago

The American merchant ship SS Cotopaxi 29 November 1925, went from South Carolina to Cuba, but after a while communication with the crew was lost. Disappeared in the Bermuda triangle, the ship joined the list of mysterious legends about this area of the Atlantic. And only after 95 years, the researchers found the wreckage of the sunken ship.

Marine biologist Michael Barnett asked the British historian guy Walters, to look for the information about the vehicle in the archives of the insurance company Lloyd's of London. In the documents it was recorded that the SS Cotopaxi was issued a distress signal on 1 December 1925, off the coast of Jacksonville (Florida, USA). Barnett decided to look for the wreckage should be in the area, gradually moving South. But the immersion and the use of underwater robots has not produced any results.

Barnett then appealed to the diver, who for 10 years diving off the coast of Florida has assembled a collection of shipwrecks. Among them was discovered a part made in the same city, and missing the ship.

A scientist and his team continued to explore the depths and archival documents. In the records they discovered the last known coordinates of the ship, which was announced by the President of the company-operator of the Clinchfield Navigation during a court session with the participation of the relatives of the missing sailors.

In the end, the wreckage of the SS Cotopaxi was able to find 56 kilometers from the city of St. Augustine, located on the coast of Florida just South of Jacksonville.
