Carroll A. Deering – Ghost Ship on the Diamond Shoals, North Carolina – Legends of America

The five-masted ship, the Carroll A. Deering, sailed for just a few short years before being found abandoned on Diamond Shoals of North Carolina.

The beautiful five-masted schooner, the Carroll A. Deering, had a short life, sailing for just a few years before she was found completely abandoned on the Diamond Shoals of North Carolina in 1922. The mystery of what happened remains one of the most famous ghost ship stories in maritime history.

Carroll A. Deering - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Carroll A. Deering was a five-masted commercial schooner that was found run aground off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921 with the crew nowhere to be found.[1][better source needed] The Deering is one of the most written-about maritime mysteries in history,[citation needed] with claims that it was a victim of the Bermuda Triangle, though no evidence of paranormal or supernatural events aboard the ship has ever surfaced.

On July 19, 1920, the Deering sailed from Puerto Rico, and arrived at Newport News to pick up a cargo of coal for delivery to Rio de Janeiro. The ship was captained by William H. Merritt, a hero of World War I who had been cited for bravery under fire for saving his entire crew when his previous command, the Deering-built five-masted schooner Dorothy B. Barrett, was sunk by the German submarine U-117 off Cape May, New Jersey in 1918. Merritt's son, Sewall, was his first mate and had a ten-man crew made up entirely of Scandinavians (mostly Danes). On August 26, 1920, the Deering cleared the Virginia Capes bound for Rio, but Captain Merritt soon fell seriously ill and the Deering turned back and put into the port of Lewes, Delaware to drop off Merritt and his son. The Deering Company recruited Captain Willis B. Wormell, a retired 66-year-old veteran sea captain, to replace him on the voyage to Brazil. Charles B. McLellan was hired on as first mate.

A ghost ship found in the sands of Namibia is a Portuguese ship from 500 years ago, called Bom Jesus.

https://greekreporter.com/2023/07/12/the-long-lost-ship-found-in-the-desert-laden-with-gold/#:~:text=It%20is%20speculated%20that%20the,Jesus%20reemerged%20in%20the%20desert

.

It is speculated that the Bom Jesus sank when it was pulled too close to shore in a storm off the coast of Namibia, causing the ship’s hull to collide with a rock and lean over, capsizing the vessel. As the coastline waters receded, the Bom Jesus reemerged in the desert.

The condition that the ship was found in suggests that the storm that caused the shipwreck was especially violent, although an absence of human remains (besides a few scattered bone fragments) in the site suggests that most of the crew on board survived the wreck or died at sea.

When it sank in a fierce storm, it was on its way to India laden with treasures like gold and copper ingots. Two-thousand pure gold coins and tens of thousands of pounds of copper ingots were discovered on the Bom Jesus, almost all intact.

Bom Jesus (ship) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Bom Jesus was a Portuguese nau and Indiaman that set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on Friday, March 7, 1533. Its fate was unknown until 2008, when its remains were discovered during diamond mining operations on the coast of Namibia, near Oranjemund. Today, the Bom Jesus is the oldest known and most valuable shipwreck ever discovered off the Western coast of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Here is more on the Octavius Ghostship...

Octavius (ship) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Octavius was a legendary 18th century ghost ship. According to the story, the three-masted schooner was found west of Greenland by the whaler Herald on 11 October 1775. Boarded as a derelict, the five-man boarding party found the entire crew of 28 below deck: dead, frozen, and almost perfectly preserved.

The captain's body was supposedly still at the table in his cabin, pen in hand (exactly as in the Schooner Jenny legend) with the captain's log in front of him. In his cabin there were also the bodies of a woman, a nude boy covered with a blanket, and a sailor with a tinderbox. The boarding party took only the captain's log before leaving the vessel, because they were unwilling to search it.

Lady Lovibond - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The story goes that the ship was at sea on 13 February because her captain, Simon Reed[2] (in some accounts named Simon Peel[3][4]), had just been married, and was celebrating the occasion with a cruise. According to several accounts, the ship was bound for Porto in Portugal.[5] Despite the longstanding sailors' superstition that it was bad luck to bring a woman on board, Reed had brought his bride Annetta with him on the ship.

The triangle has been solved....? Rogue Waves... @jgoodguy ,@rittmeister , @diane , @O' Be Joyful

Older study...

The Bermuda Triangle mystery is solved. Again.

Scientists claim that huge rogue waves account for the disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle.

bigthink.com

Monsters of the deep
Until the so-called 18.5-meter—that’s nearly 61 feet high—Draupner wave was observed, via satellite, on New Year’s Day in 1995, it wasn’t entirely certain that rogue waves weren’t just the stuff of maritime legend. These monsters are terrifying anomalies: Unpredictable massive walls of water coursing across the ocean, capable of wiping out almost anything they happen to encounter.

Now why... Storms create them when they meet...

Why the 1918 Disappearance of the USS Cyclops Is Still a Head-Scratcher

As the Navy’s last missing “big ship,” the vessel likely sank because of its poor handling of a heavy ore load—but we still don’t have good evidence for what happened.

www.popularmechanics.com

https://www.surfer.com/news/bermuda-triangle-mystery-rogue-waves

When rogue waves hit a ship of this size, it can bend from one end, then “snap in two,” Boxall said. Regarding the waves and their potential size, he continued:

“They are steep, they are high – we’ve measured waves in excess of 30 meters (98 feet). If that happens, it can sink in a matter of two or three minutes. The bigger the ship, the more damage is done.”

The green Children of Woolpit... aliens??? or Not?

Historians and researchers believe the green children of Woolpit likely suffered from chlorosis (hypochromic anemia), a diet-deficiency disease causing a greenish skin tint due to iron/vitamin deficiency, explaining their pallor and return to normal color on a better diet. Other theories include arsenic poisoning or copper exposure, but anemia fits the recovery story best, suggesting they were malnourished Flemish immigrants or orphans.

This is like the blue people of eastern Kentucky - the Blue Fugates. It was brought on by a recessive gene that came out due to inter-marrying. These kids sound something like that!
