The Cuban Coast Guard discovered a ship in the Caribbean that went missing in the Bermuda Triangle nearly a century ago. On May 18, the Cuban authorities announced the discovery by the coast guard of an old ship without a crew in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. According to their information, the found ship is the famous American steamer SS. "Cotopaxi", missing in the Bermuda Triangle on December 1, 1925.
The Cuban authorities recorded the appearance of the ship on May 16. Then he suddenly appeared west of Havana in a no-navigation zone. After prolonged unsuccessful attempts to contact the crew of the vessel, three patrol boats from the Cuban Coast Guard were sent to intercept it.
Approaching the target, the border guards were shocked by what they saw. The ship was rusted and clearly very old. They were even more surprised when they boarded the ship - there was no crew on it and desolation reigned everywhere. It was immediately apparent that the ship had been abandoned for decades.
Later it turned out that the discovered steamer was built a hundred years ago and is a legend in the Bermuda Triangle. It turned out that the ship found is the very SS. "Cotopaxi", which mysteriously disappeared in 1925.
During the inspection of the ship, the diary of the captain who served at the time of the disappearance of the ship at the Clinchfield Navigation Company was found on board. The authenticity of the logbook was confirmed by an expert from Cuba, Rodolfo Cruz Salvador. He said that the logbook contains a lot of valuable information about the daily life of the crew, but unfortunately, he did not give any clues about the disappearance of the ship and its crew.
The document describes interesting details recorded before the disappearance of the ship. The last entry in the logbook was made on December 1, 1925. It was on this day SS. Cotopaxi gave a distress call and stopped communicating. Since then, for almost 90 years there has been no news about the ship. On December 31, 1925, he was entered in the register of missing people and, despite the fact that in his last message the crew reported that the ship was sinking, he became part of the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
At sea SS. The Cotopaxi left the Port of Charleston, South Carolina on November 29, 1925. At the time of departure, there were 32 sailors on board, led by Captain Mayer. The steamer was supposed to deliver 2,340 tons of coal to the capital of Cuba - Havana, but for some unknown reason it disappeared under unknown circumstances two days after leaving the port.

Since there is no information about the whereabouts of the cargo ship in the past 90 years, the vice-president of the Council of Ministers of Cuba, General Abelardo Colome, has promised that the authorities of his country will conduct an investigation to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance and appearance of the mysterious ship.
Recall that the Bermuda Triangle covers the area between Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico. Dozens of aircraft and ships have disappeared in this area, the fate of most of which is still unknown. The culprits of these mysterious disappearances, ufologists call supernatural forces, up to the intrigues of alien civilizations.
However, these theories are popular mainly among the people, and scientists do not recognize them and explain all the anomalies of the Bermuda Triangle by human errors in the control of aircraft and ships, and all kinds of natural phenomena.
But the mysterious appearance of the legendary SS. "Cotopaxi" aroused great interest in scientific circles and it should force many experts to reconsider their beliefs on this issue, because the sudden return of the ship after 90 years of absence cannot be explained by natural phenomena and human errors.
