THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

BY: Cameron Haroldsen

The Bermuda Triangle is located from 25

degrees 45'N., 80 degrees 15' W. Miami

Florida 18 degrees 29'N 66 degrees 48' W.

Puerto Rico 32 degrees 18'N 64 degrees 48'

W. Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.

There are lots of theories in the world

about the Bermuda Triangle. Some are

pretty well explained, some are crazy.

one of the first theories of the bermuda

triangle is the great city of Atlantis, which

sank beneath the sea thousands of years

ago. Some people think it is under the island

of Bermuda.

Other people think it is powerful energy.

Long ago. men from space dropped a power

supply into the area of the bermuda triangle

waters. Any ships or planes would be

affected by it.

A lot of people think it's the gulf stream.

The gulf stream is a stream of warm water

that goes through the bermuda triangle that

might affect machinery.

The Sargasso Sea is another myth. It is

one of the seas in the Bermuda Triangle that

apparently has no wind.

Aliens, ufo's, are other theories. Its said that

they come through the bermuda triangle and

abduct people. For tests or something,that is

why no one is on the ships when we find

them.

My personal theory is magnetism. It is

said that there is a giant magnet in the

ground making the compasses malfunction,

which causes them to get lost or crash!

The first ship and crew to go into the

Bermuda Triangle was the Santa Maria with

the crew of Christopher Columbus, (40

crewmen) with the ships Pinta and Nina

holding 20 and 30 crewmen. He went in the

Bermuda Triangle Sargasso Sea on Sunday

the 23rd of September, 1492.

There were a lot of boats that went

missing in the Bermuda Triangle. "Fishing

boats, military boats, even cruise ships". The

most famous boat or ship that went missing

in the Bermuda Triangle is the USS.

CYCLOPS. A ship built for World War 2

launched May 7th, 1910.

Other famous missing boats are:

1.The Sea Venture

The Sea Venture was actually very famous

back in its time. It was the first boat that

brought settlers to the island Bermuda.

2. The Cristobal Colon.

The Cristobal Colon was famous for being one of the most

largest boats that sank in bermuda waters. It was 499 feet long

and three decks high, it could held 344 passengers when it sunk.

3. (And final boat) The

constellation

The Constellation sunk on july 30th, 1943. It was

sold to the directer of jaws and was in the movie.

There are so much missing planes just

like boats. The most famous missing flight is

flight 19. A group of 5 navy torpedo bombers

going on a practice mission. The famous

flight 19 was launched on december 5th 1945

from fort lauderdale. At the time of 2:10 PM

eastern standard time which was 12:10.

missing planes

There are a few ghost ships too

some are:

1. The Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste is one of the most famous ghosts

ships of them all.For one month the Mary Celeste was

missing – merchants in Italy awaited their shipment of

commercial alcohol. On December 5, 1872 the ship was

found in near-perfect condition, drifting on the waves of

the Strait of Gibraltar. All contents of the ship were on

board, including the cargo and the personal belongings

of the passengers. Everything remained intact, except,

very strangely, no passenger – dead or alive. Last

sighting: November 5th 1872.

2. The DEERING

The Deering never reached Norfolk. Instead it was found off Cape Hatteras,

North Carolina completely abandoned – no crew, no lifeboats. Some

suggest possible causes such as mutiny, piracy, hurricanes, or rum runners.

However, the United States government felt uncomfortable that several

ships, from many nations, had disappeared or were found wrecked in this

area – the Bermuda Triangle. These occurrences were too suspicious and

frequent to be explained away by traditional causes. The government thus

launched five separate investigations under different departments, but

whatever they found that may have illuminated some paranormal activity

was hidden from the public.

3. The VALENCIA

As the crew members of the Valencia struggled

to escape the sinking ship, they hastily

deployed six lifeboats. In the chaos, they

frantically lowered three full of men, but on

the way down, each tipped, causing all the

men to plunge into the water. Three of the

lifeboats were successfully set onto the

water, but two subsequently capsized, and

one was never seen again.

so what do you think? atlantis, a powerful

energy, the gulf stream, the Sargasso Sea,

Aliens, or the magnetism? Or something

much worse? Something much more

mysterious?
