Just before 11 p.m., Captain Charles McVay III headed to his cabin to get some sleep. McVay was proud to be the leader of the Indianapolis, a jewel of the American Navy. About the length of two football fields, the ship was lightning fast. Throughout the war, the Indianapolis had carried supplies, weapons, planes, and troops across the Pacific Ocean. It had survived many battles. In fact, the Indianapolis had just completed a mission and was now sailing away from the fighting.
The force of the blasts knocked McVay out of bed. For the next eight minutes, he and the crew focused on examining the damage and sending a distress message. When it became clear the ship was doomed, McVay gave the order.

McVay III headed to his cabin to get some sleep. McVay was proud to be the leader of the Indianapolis. This ship was a jewel of the American Navy. It was about the length of two football fields and lightning fast. During the war, the Indianapolis had carried supplies, weapons, planes, and troops across the Pacific Ocean. It had survived many battles. In fact, the Indianapolis had just completed a mission. It was now sailing away from the fighting.
As the crew went about their work, a Japanese submarine spotted the Indianapolis. It fired. Two torpedoes shot through the water. They went through the side of the Indianapolis. Fires broke out. Water gushed into the ship.
The blasts were so strong they knocked McVay out of bed. For the next eight minutes, he and the crew looked over the damage and sent a distress message. When it was clear the ship was doomed, McVay gave the order:
The Indianapolis was a type of ship called a heavy cruiser. In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sailed aboard the ship several times. He even hosted a fancy party on its decks, entertaining important leaders from around the world.
Twelve days after the rescue, Japan announced it would surrender. Yet as the world celebrated the end of the war, the families of the men lost on the Indianapolis grieved. How could such a terrible thing have happened? Could it have been prevented? Who was to blame?
The Navy came up with an answer: Captain McVay. He was put on trial by the military. During the trial, the Navy accused McVay of putting the ship in danger. They said he should have zigzagged, which means following a crooked path through the water. This, they claimed, would have prevented enemy torpedoes from hitting the Indianapolis.

Hunter decided to make the ship the topic of his sixth-grade history fair project. Like a detective working a case, Hunter set out on a search for information. He scoured the library and put an ad in the local Navy newspaper. Eventually, he connected with an Indianapolis survivor named Maurice Glenn Bell.

Ships are usually declared lost and assumed wrecked after a period of disappearance. The disappearance of a ship usually implies all hands lost. Without witnesses or survivors, the mystery surrounding the fate of missing ships has inspired many items of nautical lores and the creation of paranormal zones such as the Bermuda Triangle. In many cases a probable cause has been deduced, such as a known storm or warfare, but it could not be confirmed without witnesses or sufficient documentation.

I wrote this game originally in 1980 when I was 14 years old. I really enjoyed the Scott Adams (not the Dilbert guy, a different Scott Adams) text adventures. Like many other kids my age, I decided to write my own game in the same genre, so I began writing Lost Ship Adventure at the end of the school year.
First, there was a hidden deck on the ship with no logical way to get to it. Of course, getting to this deck was part of the puzzle, but the reviewer pointed out that without *any* other way of getting there, the crew of the ship would have had a hell of a time operating the ship. It was a small item, but it bugged me so I put some stuff in to show a "normal" way to get to the deck, but make it so that you couldn't use that method.
This isn't the worst approach; JJ Abrams made a hit television show doing the same thing. Stil, I needed a more satisfying ending. I contemplated a few ideas. You discover a lost temple? Too involved. Smoke monster? Too stupid. Hopefully you'll get far enough to find what I did. I'm pretty happy with it.
The search and inspections involved a number of organizations, including Ocean Exploration Trust, founded by Robert Ballard, who located the sunken wreckage of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck.
Nearly 200 shipwrecks are believed to rest within or nearby the boundaries of the sanctuary, which includes the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center in Alpena and some 4,300 square miles (11,137 square kilometers) of northwestern Lake Huron.
The late 1800s was a busy period for Great Lakes commerce. Thousands of schooners, or sailing ships, and hundreds of steamers hauled cargo and passengers between bustling port cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland.
Staffers with the sanctuary, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, took a sonar survey in the area of the Ironton-Ohio collision in 2017. They detected two images on the lake bed, one later identified as the Ohio. The other was a more recent shipwreck.
The sanctuary awaits federal and state permits to plant the buoy, anchored by weights of up to 3,000 pounds (1,360 kilograms), on the lake floor. Divers could attach their boats to the floating device and head down to explore the long-lost craft.
An Australian museum is doubling down on its previously contested claim that a shipwreck off the coast of Rhode Island is the long-lost ship once sailed by British explorer and cartographer Captain James Cook.
The Australian National Maritime Museum on Thursday said two new discoveries offer further evidence that a shipwreck located in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island, is the final resting place for the HMS Endeavour, a British Royal Navy vessel sailed by Cook during his first discovery voyage and the first European ship believed to have reached the eastern coast of Australia.
After comparing the wreck to the historical documents, archeologists were able to accurately predict where the ship's bow would be located and found a unique joint in the timber matching information included in the original plans, according to the outlet.
Just like the title says - a few days ago I noticed I no longer had an easy way to find the other ship or Kerbal until I got really close - it sucks if you're on the dark side and can't see anything anyway.
Newbies should go in ready to make use of the well-integrated hint system and experienced players should attack this ship humbly yet aggressively. There was a lot to do. It was fair, but it was not easy.
Shortly before the pandemic I was down in those same waters again when, in the middle of a storm, we picked up a Mayday call from a yacht that had also been slammed over. When we got to it in the middle of the night, two people had been washed away and drowned and another was very badly injured. It took a day, but we got her to within helicopter reach of the Falklands where they winched her up and flew her to hospital. She survived. In the days of the old Cape Horners, those seas gulped down more fine men and ships than any other patch within the Five Oceans.
Last year was very different. The ice was not nearly as thick and aggressive as it had been in 2019, but we were into winter, conditions had deteriorated and on the back deck temperatures had plummeted. The Captain had told me that neither man nor ship could take much more of it. Our backs were against the wall. And then we just got lucky. At the moment when we most needed it, we had two days of brilliant weather and it was during that window that we discovered the wreck. But it was very tight. In fact, after we found the wreck we only had time for two dives on her. The first to secure the data and the second was the archaeological inspection dive. The highlight of my life as an archaeologist. And that was that. The weather came back with a vengeance, and we had to get out of there post-haste.
Once the ship designs were set, I started to design the emblems of the organizations in the story. There are two main ones: the United Space Federation (U.S.F.), which is a governing body made up of the nations of Earth and the space colonies. The second organization is the Space Exploration Force (S.E.F.), which is a subsidiary of the U.S.F. that goes out into the unknown. But the Space Exploration Force is underfunded and on its last leg, with the scrappy crew of the Babylon being all that remains.
On November 29, 1925, the S.S. Cotopaxi set sail from Charleston, South Carolina, with a cargo of coal and a crew of 32. Charting a course for Havana, Cuba, the ship ran afoul of a tropical storm brewing near the Bermuda Triangle two days later and promptly disappeared.
