A mystery surrounding the disappearance of a small ship carrying 20 crew members on the Bermuda Triangle.
Last Monday, the ship Mako Cuddy, carrying 20 crew members, left the island in the Bahamas.
The destination of the ship was Lake Worth Beach in Florida.
But the small vessel that crossed the Bermuda Triangle area has disappeared without a trace, like many ships and planes in the past.
The initial news of the ship's disappearing reached the U.S. Coast Guard after one of the family members of a crew member on the ship did not receive a phone call he had expected from a relative on the ship.
Following the call, U.S. Coast Guard personnel went out on Thursday and scanned an area of 51,800 square miles.
Marine and airborne patrol forces of the Beast Islands also went out to scan the area.
For 84 hours in a row, the forces searched a Massachusetts-sized area in the United States to try and find the vessel or at least its remains. However, no finds were found in the area, and the searches were stopped.
Captain Stephen and.
Bourdain of the U.S. Coast Guard, admitted that he has not the tip of the iceberg to help solve the mystery.
"Our prayers and thoughts are with the families of the missing. If anyone in the area has seen or knows anything - he is more than welcome to update us and provide us with information," Bourdain said.
The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Atlantic Ocean between Puerto Rico, the Bermuda Islands and Florida.
Many ships and planes have disappeared in the area for decades, and to this day no explanation or finding has been found that could shed light on these disappearances.
Yet U.S. officials have tried to downplay the mystery: "In the Bermuda Triangle area, no more planes or vessels have disappeared than anywhere else in the ocean," officials said.
