On March 4, 1918 the USS Cyclops headed out towards Norfolk and each time it was contacted, no distress reports were made. The last time the ship was heard from was March 5th. On March 13th the USS Cyclops was reported overdue and a search was issued to look for it or any passengers. Though this sounds like a mysterious disappearance that may be caused by one of the theories of the Bermuda Triangle but really there are several odd things about this missing ship. The last time it was seen, it was going in the opposite direction of its destination, also there was a much larger supply of coal aboard then what was requested. Many skeptics believe that the disappearance of this ship was the result of a hijack that was set up by the captain Worley himself because he was German. There are many possible reasons for the disappearance other then the phenomenon that many people believe in.
