In this Adventure 3-pack we exlore the mystery of the Devil's Triangle (Miami-Bermuda-Virgin Islands). While many aircraft and watercraft were
lost in this area, we search for three "ghost ships" that went missing.
-
S.S. Marine Sulphur Queen (KMIA-MYGF)
[Flight# AP41]
-
Aircraft: Amphibious
-
Weather: Your choice, but you'll be looking for a ship on the water.
-
Time: Daytime.
-
Scenario: The S.S. Marine Sulphur Queen was a tanker bound for Norfolk, Virginia from Beaumont, Texas carrying 15,000 tons of molten sulphur
in heated tanks. Its last communication took place on Feb. 3, 1963, when its captain radioed a routine position report. Fly from KMIA to MYGF and
find the ghost of the Sulphur Queen.
-
USS Cyclops (TUPJ-TJSJ) [Flight# AP42]
-
Aircraft: Amphibious
-
Weather: Your discretion, but clear might make it easier to find the site.
-
Time: Daytime.
-
Scenario: USS Cyclops was built for the United States Navy several years before World War I.
The loss of the ship and 306 crew and passengers without a trace within the area known as the Bermuda Triangle some time after 4 March 1918 remains
the single largest loss of life in U.S. Naval history not directly involving combat.
To find the Cyclops, fly from TUPJ on a 312 heading until you find the ship. After exploring the ghost ship, fly to TJSJ to complete scenario. If
you fly past Puerto Rico or about 105 miles from TUPJ, then you missed the target. Note: You will have to fly past your final destination (TJSJ) on
the 312 heading to find the Cyclops, then backtrack to TJSJ.
-
SS Cotopaxi (MYNN-KMIA) [Flight# AP43]
-
Aircraft: Amphibious
-
Weather: Your discretion, but clear might make it easier to find the site.
-
Time: Daytime.
-
Scenario: The SS Cotopaxi was a tramp steamer named after the Cotopaxi stratovolcano. She vanished with all hands in December 1925 while en route from Charleston,
South Carolina, United States, to Havana, Cuba.
To find the Cotopaxi, fly from MYNN on a 294 heading towards KMIA until you find the ghost ship. If you fly within 50 miles of KMIA you missed your target. After
exploring the ghost ship fly the remaining flight to KMIA to complete the scenario.
