I never intended this to be what it has become.

I only intended a simple Demo of what We,

The Grey Wolves Team,

could do in a simple Game.

The fact that I have seen many post questions and comments,

includeing family that were on board?

Well, I'm stunned.

You all have amazed me.

And I thank you all!

@PrivateerGWX This comment is very old as is this video, but if youre still wondering what may have happend to this beautiful ship, the captain was believed to be insane and at the time the ship was ran by German sympathizers who constantly beat and humiliated the crew for simple offenses, the loss of the ship was believed to be involved with the crazed captain with multiple personalities and German sympathizer George W Worley

@MrBlackdemon90 Hi Mate, I believe We will find this Ship oneday. All the answers will become known then. The Captain is most certainly the final key as to what happened. Regardless of if he was a crazed German sympathizer or just plain loonytunes. He loaded the Ship wrong from all accounts. Did other crazy things then sailed. The Cyclops will be found someday. Of that I have no doubts. And then all those who lost family on this Great Ship can finally get the answers they seek.

Very mysterious, the loss of this ship. Any thoughts on what might have happened Privateer.

[PrivateerGWX]

I tend to believe the samething that happened

to the SS EDMUND FITZGERALD, on Lake Superior,

happened to the USS CYCLOPS.

A rouge wave or waves, may have combined with

the weight of the cargo and caused a

catastrophic sinking.

[lonystrad]

cyclops was not even half full when she dissappeared though

[PrivateerGWX]

You need read the full report.

InFact it carried a very heavy load.

In volume? It may have been half.

In weight, which means much more?

It was overloaded.

This was awesome. My Great-grandfater was the boatswain aboard the Cyclops. I still have his Captain's Dress jacket in my closet, and a photo of him wearing it.

Thanks again, I'll make sure other grand-kids see this video.

it didn't dissappear. It just sunk and where just too lazy to go out and find it

[TheGina1950]

My Grandfather Ragnar Sjolander was the boatswain on this ship also however he left this ship before it's final journey

[TheDarkshadow427]

whats the title of the music

[RFKFANTS67]

O well had it survived? It would have just died at a later date at the hands of a Uboat crew somewhere..

[mariopianist]

I read somewhere that natural methane released from the sea floor can change the density of water from beneath the ship, changing the buoyancy of the ship itself and cause it to sink

[LePrince1890]

A really odd mystery of the sea. Most likely it turned turtle in a rough sea during a storm, sinking quickly due to it's top-heavy design and it's cargo. Her sister ship became the U.S.S. Langley, our first aircraft carrier. Two other sister ships were similarly lost in World War II without a trace too.

[Karagianis]

USS Cyclops was a Proteus class, this ship type had serious structural design flaws. Out of four built, three were lost with all hands for no apparent reason.

@PrivateerGWX Yep, and on top of that, they were carrying manganese, which the Cyclops' crew were not trained on. Manganese doesn't behave like coal--like you said, the cargo probably shifted, causing her to capsize and sink.
