Nine Ships have Disappeared

It is May 1872
The Mary Celeste, a large ship has been abandoned
where is her crew?
where is the captain?
they have disappeared without any trace.

Forty-five years later
The USS Cyclops disappeared
Three hundred and nine people have never been found
This time, things were different
The ship was gone too.

Nine ships have vanished.
Many of us have speculated what might have happened.

Did a giant sea monster take these ships down to the ocean floor?
Did she eat all the meat and release the Mary Celeste so it could bob to the surface?
Is there a giant aquatic bigfoot down there?
It is curious.
