just before the ship disappeared. The message is as follows: "Danger like Dagger. Come quick!"Experts have been working on an explanation for what kind of object has the characteristic danger ofa dagger, but none have come. Although, the Homeric the vessel that picked up the distress call, mighthave also picked up some electrical interference, distorting the message. Another translation of themessage, that is done with the assumption that electrical interference was prevalent is as follows: "Nowvery danger. Come quick!" And with this there is a report that the Homeric also saw the Raifuku Marusink, but as always this too has not been proven or disproved, so the debate rages on... The accountsof disappearances have been around since 1800, when the USS Pickerney disappeared on a routefrom Guadeloupe to Delaware. But there is evidence that even Columbus' crew avoided the region asthey described it a "of the devil." From 1800 to 1976 there were 143 disappearances, and since thereis a strong likely hood of smaller vessels being lost but not recorded, the amount of vanishing shipsmight be well over 500. But only the most well documented cases are given any credit, and in some ormost cases credit isn't even due. Actually the first reported disappearance of a ship with a radio wasthe 19,000-ton Cyclops in March of 1918. But in this case (as well as many others) the US navyvessel was lost on a course that took her through rough seas and high winds. And records show thatmost of her cargo was stored in the front of her hold, and that it was improperly secured, increasingthe risk of such a ship to capsize. Often attempts are made to over dramatize the power of theTriangle by adding and omitting important information. Such is the case in the disappearance of aDC-3 off the coast of Florida. In this case the plane had a faulty radio, changing weather pattern tocompensate for, and words that have been added to the transcript of the flight recordings. ...
