It used to be that sea is the most preferred means of transportation for long trips because it is fast and relatively safe

Special ships have emerged to support effective voyages, from speedboats to boats capable of loading lots of merchandise. However, the sea is not always safe. The sea can sometimes be a terrible and dangerous place. Hidden corals and weather can drown the ship, no matter how skilled the captain and his crew are. Sailors often tell of the attacks of mythical creatures and supernatural powers and myths about the power of the sea. The creepy monsters, the god of lightning and the god of the wind, and the beautiful and deadly mermaids, only a small part of the mystery at sea.

Flying Dutchman

Flying Dutchman is a myth from the Netherlands, telling of a ship whose captain wants to get a safe shortcut around the Cape of Good Hope. As a condition, he must sell his soul to the devil. However, the captain made a mistake. He forgot to ask for only one trip. As a result, he was forced to sail back and forth forever. Many are told that the sailor who saw the ship Flying Dutchman, then he or his ship will get a disaster.

Odysseus and Serena

In the Greek legend, Serena is a sea demon in the form of a half-woman half-bird whose singing captivates the sailors to forget themselves and die on the rocks. Odysseus survived. He told his sailors to close their ears with candles (night) and tie Odysseus to the mast.

Mary Celeste

Mary Celeste is an American freighter who left New York in November 1872 to Genoa, Italy. The following month, the ship was found oscillated with a screen mounted to face the storm. However, the captain and his crew were not found. Looks like they're leaving in a hurry. No one knows why.

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is one of the mysteries of the world-wide Western hemisphere and has for centuries kept an unsolvable story. Mystery after mystery even been recorded by the oceanic traveler Christopher Columbus. This mysterious story lies in the ocean territory of the Atlantic Ocean. Within this imaginary line the area connects three regions: the territory between the British territorial Bermuda as a point to the north, Puerto Rico, the United States territory as a point to the south and Miami, the state of Florida, the United States as a point to the west. Many mysterious stories that emerged from the place, for example the story of the loss of ships and the entire crew when sailing in an area called the Bermuda Triangle region.

However, the mystery of the disappearance of several ships and aircraft in an area called the Bermuda Triangle has now been revealed. The Bermuda Triangle is an ordinary acute gas phenomenon, according to Salem-News.com. Natural gas, just like gas produced by boiling water, especially methane gas, is the main suspect behind the loss of several aircraft and ships.

Methane, which normally froze beneath the underground rock layers, can come out and turn into a geometrically enlarged gas balloon as it moves upward. When it reaches the surface of the balloon water containing the gas it will continue to enlarge upward and outward. Any vessel trapped inside a giant gas balloon will instantly falter, losing buoyancy and being attracted to the bottom of the ocean. If the balloon is large enough and has enough density, then the plane can be hit by a fall. Airplanes trapped in giant methane balloons are likely to suffer engine damage as they are covered with methane and soon lose their lift.

Seafarers' Habits

In the past, alone in the middle of a vast ocean, a ship could not meet other vessels for days. If the ship had an accident, no one can
