The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as the Devil's Triangle or the Triangle of Death) is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the US. The apexes of this imaginary triangle are; Miami, San Juan and Bermuda.

Why does such mystery surround these waters? Well, rumor has it, it all started back with Christopher Columbas who is reported to have seen a bolt of fire fall into the sea and experience compass irregularies within the triangle.

Between 1492 and 2001 over 170 ships, boats and planes are said to have disappeared. The most famous include:

1872 - the discovery of the “Ghost Ship” the Marie Celeste.
