Photos and Articles from the disappearance of the crew of the Carroll A. Deering
In Episode 67 of the podcast we head back to the early 1920’s. It was an era that saw numerous vessels vanish in the Atlantic Ocean. The Carroll A. Deering didn’t vanish, but its crew did, and then she washed up on the dangerous Diamond Shoals off the coast of North Carolina.
Was it mutiny? Captain Wormell and his first mate did not get along and everyone knew it. German U-boats were a thing of the past, and so were pirates, right? Was it Russians? Or the work of the not-yet-known Bermuda Triangle?
We may never know. The Carroll A. Deering (along with the nearby disappearance of the S.S. Hewitt) may go down as one of the greatest unsolved mysteries ever.
