In March of nineteen eighteen, one of the largest ships in the United States Navy left Barbados bound for Baltimore, loaded heavy with manganese ore, and simply never arrived. No distress call. No wreckage. No lifeboats. No bodies. More than three hundred men were aboard, and not one of them was ever seen again. More than a century later, the USS Cyclops has still never been found — the single largest loss of life in US Navy history outside of combat.

Tonight, drift slowly through her story — the coaling ships built to feed a growing steam navy, the enormous derricks that gave her that unmistakable skyline, the wartime crossings she made across the Atlantic, the troubled captain and the strained crew, the overloaded cargo and the failing engine that were noted before she sailed, the theories that have been argued ever since — from structural failure to a sudden capsize — and the quiet fact that after a hundred years of searching, the sea has never given back a single piece of her. Let the tale carry you gently toward sleep.

Lost Vessel explores the greatest ships ever built — and the greatest legends the sea has ever told — slowly, calmly, and made for rest.
