Abstract:

In March 1918, the U.S.S. Cyclops--a navy battleship, vanished without a trace. Carrying 309 people, manganese ore, and fuel, the U.S.S Cyclops had orders to leave Brazil and land stateside in Baltimore, Maryland; but never did. Amongst those that disappeared were 6 North Carolina natives: George Alfred, Leonard Day, Isaac Dancy, Robert Powers, Junius Dellinger, and Robert Riddle.
