America's biggest Navy ship sailed into calm seas — and evaporated.
The USS Cyclops was carrying three hundred and nine men and thousands of tons of ore. In 1918, she left Barbados for Baltimore. She never arrived.
No distress call. No wreckage. No bodies. It is still the largest loss of life in U.S. Navy history outside of combat.
Her captain was German-born, sailed under a false name, and paced the deck at night in a derby hat. His own crew reported him. America blamed German submarines.
