        So a debunked then?

        What about all those ships that went missing, then appears months later with no one on board? Is that just a hoax?

          I mean it’s near typical hurricane paths. Back before we could see hurricanes on satellite we were probably much less aware of them; at least insofar as their current size and power and direction.

          Could be ships that got hit with a rogue wave, swept crew away? Remaining crew abandoned into lifeboats, possible also wrecked by high seas or just too far out to be rescued/ discovered?

          Are there even significantly more shipwrecks described like this or is it like it happened twice in a vast area of the ocean known for huge waves and hurricane activity before we had radar or GOES?

      It’s an extremely high traffic area. A lot of ships and planes go down because there’s a lot there.
