Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle: When the Largest US Ship Lost Without a Trace

How can the largest ship in the US navy disappear without a trace? This is a question that was on the minds of many people in March 1918, when a coal transport ship, the USS Cyclops, was lost on a voyage between the West Indies to Baltimore.

A century has passed, the question is still not answered.

The Cyclops is nearly 550 feet long, with a crew of 306 people and 11 thousand tons of manganese in it. He has sailed since 1910, traveled the Baltic Sea, the Caribbean and Mexico, sending coal to the world and helping refugees.

However, in 1917, when America was involved in World War I, the Cyclops became a valuable asset for the navy - tasked with transporting troops and coal to fuel other ships.

In March 1918, the ship was given a new cargo: tons of solid manganese used in steel making. Cyclops left Brazil with the fragile metals, then sailed to Barbados to supply supplies before making a long trip to Baltimore.

The last message from this ship is quite simple: "The weather is good, everything is going smoothly". However, his journey on the ninth day, was very strange. Since that time, no one in the Cyclops has ever been seen or heard from - vanished without an emergency warning.

In an article published several years after the disappearance of the ship, Santa Fe magazine described the strangeness of the incident. "Normally, wood scraps or buoys from lost ships can be found after an accident, but that isn't the case with Cyclops," they wrote.

"He disappeared as if there were sea monsters or giants that immediately took him to the depths of the sea. This theory is reinforced by the absence of an emergency call to ask for help as happens if the ship will sink, "he added.

Over the decades, there have been a number of sensational theories regarding the disappearance of the Cyclops. Including those who say that he was one of 100 ships and aircraft that mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.

Are these ships 'eaten' by sea monsters, carried by UFOs, or drowned by storms?

"The loss of the Cyclops has become one of the most puzzling mysteries in naval history. All attempts to find it were unsuccessful, "the US navy wrote in its official statement.

Even so, some people are still loyal to the Cyclops investigation - especially those who have personal connections with the ship. Marvin Barrash is a descendant of firefighters who also lost the Cyclops.

For more than ten years, Barrash has been trying to uncover his mysteries - collecting records from the navy, ship logs, and blackened manganese ore.

"However, the existence of the ship was completely swept away without a trace. Not like lost in battle, but just vanished from the face of the Earth, "he said.

Barrash has his own hypothesis about what happened to the giant ship. Starting from the damage to the engine, the crew is not used to the new cargo, and large waves that roll the ship and its passengers into the sea forever.

All of that, he said, was related to the Cyclops which might pass over the Puerto Rico trench - the deepest part of the Atlantic that is adjacent to the Bermuda Triangle.

Although the opportunity is small, Barrash hopes that the ship can be found, considering that underwater exploration technology is now getting better. In recent years, shipwrecks have been found thanks to this technology. Maybe, Cyclops could be the next one.

"I just want him found. I want 306 victims to rest in peace. Also so that their families can be relieved. Everyone definitely needs certainty, "concluded Barrash.

The 1911 Deadly Heat Wave and Made Many People Mad

In July 1911, along the east coast of the United States, temperatures rose to exceed 40 degrees celsius and lasted for 11 days. In addition to killing residents, the incident made many people almost crazy.

At the end of Pike Street, in Manhattan, a young man jumped off a pier and plunged into the water after hours trying to take a nap in a shady corner. Before jumping, he said: "I can't stand it anymore!".

Meanwhile, in Harlem, an overheated worker tried to crash himself in front of the train and had to be detained by the police.

The US streets are full of violence. Residents running around like crazy because of the heat. One of the drunks even attacked the police with a meat knife because he could not stand the extreme temperatures.

In an age where there were no air conditioners and electric fans, many people had difficulty surviving this deadly heat.

June passed easily enough, but afterwards, a sweep of hot, dry air from the southern plains depressed the happiness of the sea breeze.

In Providence, Rhode Island, the temperature rises 11 degrees in half an hour. New York and Philadelphia became the center of chaos, while in New England, railroads curved, mailing was delayed, and people died under the sun.

The death toll is estimated at two thousand in just a few weeks.

Poor ventilation and cramped living quarters make matters worse. Old people, young people and small children become victims of heat waves. Babies cry all night, or can't wake up at all.

Not only did they die from a direct heat stroke, but they were also exhausted while trying to escape the blazing air. In addition, around 200 people died from drowning in the sea, ponds, rivers and lakes, in an effort to refresh the body.

Besides humans, horses also die and are left to rot along the road.

When the hot air reaches its peak, the residents leave their apartment and sleep on the cold grass. They take a nap under a tree in Central Park and look for shade in Battery Park.

In Boston, around five thousand people choose to spend the night at Boston Common and avoid the risk of suffocation in their own homes.

Singkap Labuan Bajo: Traces of City Development and Multicultural Traditions

The piece of West Manggarai folk song above was documented by an SVD priest named Piet Heerkens in his book entitled Flores Manggarai, published in 1930.

The whole poem of the song tells about Rado Sawi Ndao which is swallowed by 'MPo' or crocodile and enters the crocodile's stomach. Using his knife, Rado Sawi Ndao tickled the stomach of a large crocodile that swam in the sea to several areas such as Mborong, Reok, and Labuan Bajo until finally Rado Sawi Ndao came out of the crocodile's stomach.

A piece of the poem records the use of the word 'Labuan Bajo' in 1930. Tracing the history of the use of the word 'Labuan Bajo' will not be separated from the history of the city of Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency as well as Flores - an island called Cabo de Flores. The name Flores is derived from the Portuguese language Cabo de Flores which means "Cape of Flowers".

The name was originally given by S.M. Cabot to refer to the eastern region of Flores Island. Finally used officially since 1636 by the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies Hendrik Brouwer. An in-depth study by Orinbao in 1969 revealed that the real name of the island of Flores was Nusa Nipa (snake island), which from an anthropological perspective, this term is more useful because it contains various philosophical, cultural, and ritual traditions of the Flores people. History records Flores-Sumba-Timor as the best producer of sandalwood in the world, especially in the 3rd century to the 18th century.

So far, the name Labuan Bajo is recorded in Jacques Nicolas Vosmaer's report in the Jaarboeken Maandschrift tot Verspreiding van Kennis der Nederlandsche en Buitenlandsche Overzeesche Bezittingen report in 1862 which states that in an article in 1833 a sea journey to 'Laboean Badjo' was reported. No Dutch records have been found that are older than the work which include the words 'Laboean Badjo' or Labuan Bajo.

Labuan Bajo has the meaning 'place of anchoring of the Bajo tribe' according to a number of residents and community leaders in Labuan Bajo. Haji Sahamad is one of them.

"The landing place of the Bajo people in the Manggarai area," said the figure of Bajo descent who was led by the Bajo Bugis Bima tribe in Kampung Cempa (Kampung Ujung), Kampung Tengah and Kampung Air, Labuan Bajo.

"What I remember was there was a Bajo courtier or aristocrat here, because that was my grandfather and ancestor," Sahamad explained.

He once published a four-language dictionary: Bajo, Bugis, Bima, and English as a result of his collaboration with one of the Catholic priests from the Netherlands several years ago.

The mention of Labuan Bajo is intensified recorded in Dutch records in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially since the Catholic missionaries began to work in Flores. However, there is a mention of 'Laboean Badjak' on a map of Flores dated to 1874 made by J.G. Veth and published in Amsterdam. Why?

We can attribute this to the long history of the existence of the Gowa Tallo Kingdom in South Sulawesi and the Bajo Tribe. The kingdom of Gowa was established in 1300, since the beginning the kingdom expanded its influence by using naval fleets. Gowa Kingdom relations include Sulawesi, eastern Kalimantan, Sumbawa, Flores, Timor, Maluku, Papua and northern Australia.

The relationship was intensified when King Tunibatta (Gowa) sent envoys to establish relations with Sumbawa, Sumba, Timor, Flores, Maluku in 1565. In 1626, the Kingdom of Gowa controlled the island of Flores, specifically West Flores, Solor, and Alor. This happened in conjunction with the Portuguese and VOC's efforts to expand the territory in the archipelago.

Since then, the influence of culture and human movement from Sulawesi to Flores, especially West Flores, has intensified. In addition to Gowa Tallo, the Makassar Kingdom under the leadership of Sultan Hasanuddin, Makassar succeeded in controlling almost the entire territory of South Sulawesi and expanding its territory to Nusa Tenggara (Sumbawa and parts of Flores).

In 1661, Manggarai surrendered to the Kingdom of Bima. After six years, Gowa's rule in Mangagrai ended because Gowa lost the war against the Dutch (VOC) and had to sign a Bongaya agreement and the Makassar people were prohibited from sending boats to Bima, Solor, and Timor. Nearly a century ago, in 1795 the famous Bajo pirates from Halmahera operated around the Flores Sea to the West Manggarai region - Flores.
