Mystery - U.S.S. Cyclops Disappearance


Listen Later

Trigger warnings: We don't really know because no one knows what happened to the U.S.S. Cyclops on its final voyage back to the United States from Brazil during WWI. Did it get sunk by a German U-Boat? Was there a mutiny? Did a Bermuda Triangle-dwelling sea monster take it down? Diz tells us all the theories and Bev comes up with her favorite.
