Here are the 11 shipwrecks surrounded with mystery from the Famous Titanic wreck to the pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge ! Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 6. Queen Anne’s Revenge This ship is most famous for being the pride and joy of legendary pirate Blackbeard. Blackbeard only used the Queen Anne's Revenge for about a year, but it did a lot within that year. Blackbeard crashed the ship aground in 1718 and abandoned it in what is present-day North Carolina. It wasn't long after the ship was wrecked that Blackbeard ended up dying in combat which we're pretty sure is unrelated. Before the ship was Blackbeard's, it waI s a French slaver ship, so being used for piracy was a step-up for it. The location that it was rediscovered in 2014 is a part of the National Register of Historic Places. 5. Taiwanese Mutiny Ship This ship caused quite the stir in 2010 when it crashed on the shore of Padang Padang in Bali. The crash wasn't exactly opportune because a surfing competition was planned that very same day on the beach that is famous for its fantastic surfing conditions. The most interesting thing about this wreck is that it was a pirate ship had a missing captain. The captain of the ship was believed to be murdered by his crew in a mutiny. The ship was kind of well known for their illegal fishing practices, and it was a target for a ton of environmental agencies. This wreck is one mystery that will most likely never get solved, though, because the ship soon caught fire due to a fuel leak. Nobody died in the wreck, though, so that is at least good news. 4. RMS Lusitania This ship is another ocean liner that probably could have avoided sinking if the captains listened to directions. It sunk in May of 1915 during the First World War because it got too close to a German U-Boat. The sinking of this ship marked an important event in that war because, like Pearl Harbor in World War II, it got the US involved in the war as well as turning many countries against Germany. Some recent accounts think that the details of the events of the ships sinking may have been altered to convert the world against Germany and get people more involved in the war. The previous belief is that the ship was warned that it was getting too close to a German vessel, but the warning was ignored. No matter the events of the real wreck, of the 1,959 passengers aboard the ship only about 750 survived the sinking. 3. USS Cyclops The loss of this ship has been one of the biggest mysteries in naval history. It was another ship that served during World War I and it disappeared along with the 306 passengers and crew aboard the ship. The ship was also lost in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle which adds even more to this mystery. Some people have always suspected foul play because the ship was carrying ammunition supplies but the most likely culprit, Germany, has always denied causing the loss. In fact, they said that they never even knew anything about the ship. The Naval History and Heritage Command think that the ship was probably lost in a sudden storm, but until the wreckage is found, we won't know for sure. 2. The MV Dona Paz The ship that is known as the Asian Titanic is even more deadly than the Titanic. The wreck of this Philippine ship goes down in history as the deadliest maritime disaster that took place during peace. The death toll of those on board is estimated at 4,386 with only 24 survivors. The reason for the sinking it the fact that the ship was severely overcrowded. There were at least 2,000 passengers that went unaccounted for and the ship apparently carried no radio and had no life jackets. Believe it or not, this didn't happen centuries ago; it occurred in 1987 on December the 20th. It just goes to show that negligence goes a long way towards messing things up. The wreck was declared a national tragedy and the events were taken as a lesson for stricter safety standards. 1.Santa Maria Public opinion of Christopher Columbus is not exactly favorable, but that doesn't stop his largest ship's wreck being the most famous shipwreck in American history. There are several stories about how this ship sank, but the most accepted one is that Columbus and the rest of the crew took a nap, or they were irresponsibly drunk depending on your source because the waters were calm. They left a young deckhand in charge of the ship while they slept, in a move that kind of sums up Christopher Columbus, and the boy accidently ran the ship aground because he had no idea what he was doing. Several people have claimed to have found the wreck, most famously Barry Clifford in 2014, but it has never been definitively proven. The wreckage that Clifford found dated back to the after the Santa Maria sank so it couldn't have been the famous ship. Overall, maybe Christopher Columbus shouldn't have been given a ship in the first place.
