“The Cotopaxi was on a routine voyage,” marine biologist and underwaterexplorer Michael Barnette told *Newsweek*.
“She was employed in the coal trade and so this was just another trip atthe end of November of 1925. We know that on that voyage something happenedbecause she delivered a mayday message early December saying she’s indistress.
“And then that was it. They never found any wreckage. They never found anylifeboats, bodies or anything. The vessel just disappeared after thatpoint. So we’ve been trying to determine what happened.”
