If waves are big enough, any ship can eventually get sunk by unlucky waves hitting from angles and flooding lower decks. If they don't have power they can't pump the water out and if it's a hurricane they can't bail into the ocean because lol. So basically the ship probably sunk with everyone on it.

Toadvine posted:I thought they solved this one already: methane vents in the ocean floor dissipate gas to the surface, rendering buoyant objects less buoyant aka sunk boats actually the answer was even simpler: the people who popularized the whole "Bermuda Triangle" thing were whackjobs who didn't know poo poo from shinola and the stretch of ocean they were raving about is no more dangerous statistically than any other stretch of ocean around the world. Hell, a lot of the ships that get claimed to have vanished mysteriously were either not even in the so-called triangle to begin with or were actually right in the path of heavy storms or hurricanes.

honestly? they're probably shipwrecked on an island that exists outside of time and is populated by immortal survivors (the island won't let you die) from various ship and plane wrecks throughout history. Probably some dinosaurs too which, because they were the original inhabitants of the island when it fell out of time, CAN kill you.

why do you need 33 people to drive a boat. is it a viking ship or some poo poo. This has to be some kind of insurance scam.

My credentials: have a 100 ton coast guard captains license, if you add it up I've spent like 6 months boating in the Bermuda Triangle. Also a wreck diver, almost all of which are in the triangle. Hot take: that's a very large and very busy area of ocean. If they got themselves caught in the hurricane it's perfectly reasonable that they went down.. The strange thing to me is even if they lost power, purpolsion, etc they should have an EPIRB or three to light up and give their position. The ocean is real big y'all, and without a precise location the coast guard has to get a bit lucky. Before losing contact the crew also reported a 15 degree list and that they were taking on water. No maneuvering and you're listing hard and taking on water? GG Conclusion: Aliens from forward operating base Atlantis.

The Bermuda Triangle is such bullshit because it's so loving huge so no poo poo a ship is gonna 'disappear' in it every once in a while. Coincidentally during a hurricane.

Ya know, it's almost like ships should avoid sailing through hurricanes, but of course that makes sense and costs money. so gently caress it, take the chance.

They had five extras working on stuff, 28 is a large crew still, but a steamer has extras. Captain, three mates Chief engineer and three watch standing engineers Three watch oilers because it's a steamship. Three man galley crew. Fourteen right there, then 6 ABs or so, twenty Maybe some wipers, a reefer man, electrician, a second second or third assistant, some ordinary seamen, who knows. Cadets.

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY - 36 HOURS AGO VIVID ENTERTAINMENT SECRETARY: Mr. Hirsch? I've been receiving a series of emails from pretty much every director we've ever worked with. They're all asking us if we've seen the news lately, and quite a few contain puns about sailors, ships, pirates, tropical locations, and the word "triangle".

Bishop posted:you can navigate around a storm like that but if it takes an unexpected turn or something on your boat goes wrong.... Well you try to get to the "safest" quadrant of the 'cane and angle your bow properly into the seas. If you are in that situation and lose maneuvering, then start listing and taking on water you are goatfucked. The seas will likely orient the ship to where it's already flooding and it just compounds until death is very certain. My main question is where is the EPIRB from the lifeboats? It suggests that they did not have time to abandon ship Already listing 15 degrees when they called in and no power? Likely rolled the bitch right over.
