The area known as the "Bermuda Triangle", Basically, extends from Bermuda to Southern Florida, then East, past San Juan Puerto Rico to aprroximately 40 degrees west longitude. Many of the strange happenings you will read about occur in a region of the Western North Atlantic known as the Sargasso Sea, named after the Sargassum seaweed that proliferates the area. This area was anciently called "The Sea of Fear". It is an uncanny area where "Dead Calms" are frequent. There are no strong currents, and no winds for weeks at a time. You can readily see what problems this would pose for sailing vessels!
