Does anyone know anything more about any of these cases?
SS Marine Sulphur Queen:
A few years ago, I heard the the wreck of the T2 tanker Marine Sulphur Queen (which supposedly disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle) had been located off Florida. In 2005, a team of divers inspected the ship and found that it appeared to be a tanker lying on her port side. There were three other ships (all sunk during WW2) that the wreck might have been but all were much smaller than the MSQ. Here is the latest link I can find:

Flight 19:
Also, I remember hearing updates on the five Avengers that disappeared in 1945. Five planes were found together in the 1990s, but all were confirmed to be different ones that were lost in accidents later. In the late 1990s, one lone Avenger was supposedly located by a researcher looking for the squadron - the only surviving part of the call number matched one of the five missing planes. I forget where I read that and I don't know anything else about it. :down:
USS Cyclops/Nereus/Proteus:
In 1968, the wreck of one of these ships was claimed to have been discovered, altough it has not been relocated since, to my knowledge. (BTW - In this article, the author forgets to mention the Cyclops' other three sisters, Jason, Neptune, and Orion which were scrapped in the 1930s).

SS Waratah:
In 1942, a pilot flying near Africa spotted a large ship lying on her side in shallow water, where no wreck had been recorded to have been. He died in a car accident before he could tell anyone where it was located and a map he drew of the place was lost (altough it was found in a photo album in 1972). Between that time and the present, that wreck was found and confirmed to have actually been a Dutch Submarine Depot (the SS Columbia) torpedoed in WW2. I don't think the Waratah has actually been found.

Anyone have any updates, on these or on others?
