The mysterious abandonment in 1872 of the ''[[Mary Celeste]]'', is often but inaccurately connected to the Triangle, having been abandoned off the coast of Portugal. Many theories have been put forth over the years to explain the abandonment, such as alcohol fumes from the cargo to insurance fraud. The event is possibly confused with the sinking of a ship with a similar name, the ''Mari Celeste'', off the coast of Bermuda on September 13, 1864, and mentioned in the book ''Bermuda Shipwrecks'' by Dan Berg.

The incident resulting in the single largest loss of life in the history of the U.S. Navy not related to combat occurred when [[USS Cyclops]] under the command of [[Lieutenant Commander]] George. W. Worley went missing without a trace with a crew of 306 sometime after March 4, 1918, after departing the island of [[Barbados]]. Although there is no strong evidence for any theory, storms, capsizing and submarine activity during [[World War I]] have all been suggested as explanations.
