BAFFLING SHIP DISAPPEARANCES IN THE DEEP DARK WATERS
2. The Marine Sulphur Queen
A 160 meter tanker, which was originally used to carry oil during the World War II, was later refurbished to carry molten sulphur. This means that her storage tanks would have to be kept at enormously high temperature. Though minor leakages were common for this ship, the crew would mainly ignore them most of the times.
The ship was nothing close to a super tanker, but it still continued hauling molten sulphur till 1963. One fine sunny day at sea, the Marine Sulphur Queen was sailing in the joyous blue waters, and sent a message of everything being normal over a well interpreted radio signal. After this, nobody ever heard from the ship again.
What happened on that fateful day is not known to anyone! While some historians say that she could have exploded; others point out the Bermuda Triangle to be the cause.
There were no remains of the crew that could uncover the mystery. Some debris have been found, but they still do not disclose much about the disappearance. The Marine Sulphur Queen was an engineering miracle that survived for long.
This ship’s disappearance is still considered to be a conspiracy, but no proof has been located so far.
