Ghost Ship
August 20th,
1920
The Carroll A. Deering
Loaded aplenty
Norfolk, Virginia
To Rio D J
Cargo of coal
Down South America way
This trip was made
A second time
What happened next
Will we ever find
Delivered, they set off
Homeward bound
On Diamond Shoals
They ran aground
Its now January 31st
1921
Where this mystery
Has now began
This stormy area
On natures earth
Hampering the investigation
To find out the worst
Its now February the 4th
Persons board
Nautical equipment missing
Is it a pirates hoard
In the vessels galley
The next days meal
Abandoned and left
An uneasy feel
Theories of its disappearance
Was it an external force
That brought this ship
To change its course
To this day, no conclusion
No explanation, no fruition
Paranormals list the case
Is the Bermuda Triangle
This crews last resting place
