Another splendid video HIDDEN HISTORY. In my humble opinion, these ships had structural damage unknown to the crew, from hauling heavy loads, and finally split in two.
Wow interesting information on mystery disappearance of ships in the Caribbean. Also the not so serious mentioning of ships going down to downtown Bimini Road Atlantis. I never knew about underwater waterfalls near Puerto Rico.
The three ships lost were all out of direct Navy control. Jupiter/Langley was always under control as a combat capable ship and was kept in much better repair than ore carriers that undermanned.
It is well-known that the class had major structural / design issues. At least one other ship of it unexpectedly broke its back. That tall structure over the cargo holds probably meant a tendency for top heaviness as well.
Undersea trenches would explain why these collier ships disappeared at sea, rather than the fanciful 'Bermuda Triangle' theory. Well researched, thank you so much for this presentation.
I was going to ask what happened to the fourth ship in the class! I've read that the Cyclops in particular had been carrying very caustic coal cargoes, which were known to eat away the internal girders and ribs of a ship. That, combined with an inherently risky design feature and very heavy cargoes together with a dangerous area of currents could well be the answer. How similar are these ocean trenches to the area off Cape Town and Durban, South Africa, where the liner 'Waratah' disappeared with all hands? She was notoriously top heavy, and was lost in an area where there are some rummy waves and undersea currents known to occur - and like the three US colliers - Waratah left no trace or evidence of her sinking.
🙄👻 *Bermuda Triangle in the atlantic, Devil's Triangle in the Pacific, the Michigan Triangle of the Great Lakes... if you compare the losses in those areas with losses elsewhere it's statistically unremarkable.*

USS JUPITER was also a sister ship but was converted into USS LANGLEY CV 1.
And the USS Cyclops !
sadly the conversion did not save her from death, however at the very least we know how she sunk

Has to be structural too much of coincidence three sister ships disappeared in such similar circumstances.

3 the missing sisters
Thanks fro the great information.

Great research. Thanks so much.
You have Proteus as lost on 11/23/1941, six weeks after the US entered WWII, 11/23/1941 is actually 2 weeks BEFORE the US entered WWII
Okay, it wasn't just me. If you can't figure out when the USA entered WW ll it puts everything else in doubt. I stopped watching.

What’s up my guy👍👍
Didn't someone find one of these ships?

Questions ? .
. . ? Fascinating, no ?
Spooky!
Colliers aren't warships.
