Lost Without a Trace: The Marine Sulphur Queen

In February 1963, the SS Marine Sulphur Queen, a converted WWII tanker carrying molten sulphur, disappeared somewhere between Texas and Key West, Florida, taking all 39 crew members with it. There was no distress call, and only a few life jackets and debris were found weeks later. The wreck of the Marine Sulphur Queen has never been found, and no bodies have ever been recovered. The official US Coast Guard investigation report could not establish a cause of the sinking, and only put forth possible reasons for its loss.

This episode, explores the troubled history of the ship, the few details we actually know of its final voyage, the search and rescue operation, the Coast Guard investigation, and finally, the lawsuits filed by the families of the crewmembers.

The cause of the sinking of the Marine Sulphur Queen remains unsolved, and is the focus one of the most debated unsolved mysteries, including theories involving the linked the so-called "Bermuda Triangle." (NOTE: Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs does NOT support the Bermuda Triangle theories.)
