#37 U.S.S. Cyclops, Bermuda Triangle, and A Gold Star Mother's Diary

Diary Discoveries

In 1918 the U.S.S. Cyclops and 309 men vanished without a trace at sea in the area known as the Bermuda Triangle. Sally's Great Great Uncle was aboard that ship. Her G.G. Grandmother kept a diary when, 13 years later, she was on a Gold Star pilgrimage with other mothers and wives who had lost sons or husbands in the war.
This is the diary that ignited Sally's passion for reading and collecting diaries. Her passion now includes sharing these stories with you on the podcast.
In this episode you will learn about the U.S.S. Cyclops, the ship's mission, and its disappearance, which remains a mystery to this day. We also talk about the Bermuda Triangle, The Gold Star, and then read Grandma's diary entries. You will journey with her from New York to Paris and England, and then back home. Her pages contain her thoughts and sadness as she remembers her son and honors the other women's sons and husbands killed in military service. She also had a few humorous experiences to share in her diary.
