the Devil’s Triangle, happens to be one
of the most mysterious places on this
planet. Located off the southeastern
coast of the US in the Atlantic Ocean,
between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico, the region

The stories around the Bermuda triangle begin in
Christopher Columbus’s time when he reportedly saw a
flame of fire crashing into the sea in the triangle during
his first voyage to the New World.
And, the legends of the Bermuda Triangle consists of a
number of the mysterious disappearance of vessels in
the region; most of them remain least clueless still. Here is a list of the most noted
stories of disappearance or the unresolved mysteries of ship accidents in the
Devil’s Triangle.
ONE SUCH MYSTERY..
Mary Celeste
Possibly one of the most mysterious stories of shipwrecks, this ship is a tale of its
own. Despite being found adrift in some other location in the Atlantic Ocean, the
connection to the Bermuda triangle had been somehow invoked to find an answer
to the mystery of its fate.
Discovered on 4th December 1872 with
everything right in the place except for the entire
crew, the ship was found stranded on the sea days
after starting its journey from New York to
Genoa, Italy.
There were seven crew members and Captain
Benjamin Briggs, his wife, and their two-year-old
daughter aboard the vessel, loaded with raw
alcohol.
But, days after, when a passing British ship called
Dei Gratia found Mary Celeste under partial sail
in the Atlantic, off the Azores Islands, the ship was unmanned with no crew
abroad, and the lifeboat was also missing.
It was also found that nine of the barrels in the cargo
were empty, and there was a sword on the deck. No
trace of the people abroad the vessel or the missing
lifeboat has ever been found.
Studies of the ship clearly ruled out the possibility
of a pirate attack since everything on this ship,
including the barrels of alcohol it was transporting
and the crew’s valuable belongings, were intact.
Theories surrounding the mystery of the Mary Celeste also included the chances of
a criminal conspiracy, alien abduction, and even an attack by a giant squid.
