“In 2015, a rumor began circulating that a ghost ship found by the Cuban coast guard was actually the SS Cotopaxi. Barnette decided to set the record straight, so he posted a video online saying that the real Cotopaxi was at the bottom of the Atlantic. Soon after he posted that, Science Channel contacted him, and the two worked together to make a show about his find,” according to Laura Geggel for LiveScience.
With this find, which isn’t even within the alleged boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle, the mystery of where the ship went is now solved.
“The SS Cotopaxi left Charleston, South Carolina, [for Havana, Cuba,] on Nov. 29, 1925, with a cargo of coal, but the vessel didn’t make it far. A storm wiped out the ship, and none of the 32 people onboard were ever seen or heard from again.”
