A Ship Lost

Picture

Much has been written about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle and the unexplainable disappearance of many ships and vessels in this intriguing area of the Atlantic Ocean.  

This week our students will read and discuss A Ship Lost. This short story relates how the U.S. Navy, 
Cyclops, vanished without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle during a voyage from the island of Barbados to Norfolk, Virginia. The Cyclops still remains the largest navy ship ever lost without leaving the a clue to her fate.​
​
Students will identify new vocabulary words and find their meaning in context. They will provide an illustration and write a sentence using each word. Students will answer comprehension questions about the story.  They will study a map to find the location of the Bermuda Triangle and formulate their own hypothesis regarding this mysterious place in the ocean.


Key Vocabulary:
  • ​vanish
  • boundaries
  • S.O.S
  • officials
  • mine
  • torpedo
  • mutiny
  • baffling
  • unexplainable
