Unexplained mystery of the Devil’s Sea



The Devil's Sea which is also known as the Dragon's Triangle is a region of the Pacificaround Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. The Japanese call it the Ma-no Umi: the sea of the devil. This place is known for vanishing ships and seamen similar to the legendary Bermuda Triangle.  This area is said to be a danger zone on Japanese maps, according to Charles Berlitz's books The Bermuda Triangle (1974) and The Dragon's Triangle (1989).


He states that in the peacetime years between 1952-54 Japan lost 5 military vessels with crews lost totals over 700 people and that the Japanese government sent a research vessel boarded by over 100 scientists to study the Devil's Sea, and that this ship too vanished; and finally that the area was officially declared a danger zone. However, in 1995, Larry Kusche published "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved" and reported that his research found that Berlitz's military vessels were mostly fishing vessels, some lost outside the Dragon's Triangle. Kusche also wrote that the Japanese research vessel carried not 100 personnel, but 31 and that an undersea volcano destroyed it on September 24, 1952. The Japanese government later recovered some of the ship's wreckage.


According to the myth, dragons live deep beneath the surface and their movement can suddenly churn up waves, whirlpools, thick fog, and sudden storms. The devil's sea might be subjected to numerous theories and suppositions. But in spite of scientific evidences and the mythical aura surrounding the ocean, its continued existence proved  that certain powers are far beyond the control of men and their equipments.
