The Wreck of the S.S. Sapona and the Devil's Triangle | M.P. Pellicer

Over 100 years after it was commissioned as a war ship, what's left of the Sapona sits on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle, a silent witness to many eerie occurrences.

The S.S. Sapona (originally named the Old North State) was one of four ships manufactured for use in WWI by the United States. Their names were Sapona, Cape Fear, Faith and The Americas. There was a steel shortage, and the ships were made of concrete by the Emergency Fleet Corporation at Wilmington, however the war ended before they could be used as troop transport ships.
