1993 -- "Cara Mia" Cruise Liner Lost in Triangle 1993? Help

Hi all,

Been searching this one for many hours through many days with little success. Wondering if you researchers out there can help?

Caught it out of the corner of my eye last week, while looking at "Google Books", actually for the first time.

(Seems you can access the old 'world news' articles, including the Sept. 1993 article through 'Google Books' for some reason.)

Anyway, it was reported an Italian Luxury Liner w/2000 people/crew disappeared in Sept 1993 within the the Triangle, quoted as the "Devils Triangle" but actually Bermuda Triangle, not Japanese Waters.

Spent days trying to find more info on this tragedy, but only found this writing:

Which says the same as the witness Lobster fisherman said in the news article: e.g.:

Subject: Italian luxury liner sails into green fog file: ufo412


U.S. Navy and coast guard ships and planes are secretly searching
the waters of the devil's triangle, where a majestic luxury liner
sailed into a billowing green mist - and vanished without a trace!

The hush hush search was exposed by a witness who, believing the
U.S. Is covering up the bizarre disappearance, revealed how he wa-
tched a giant cruise ship with an Italian name vanish off the face
of the earth.

I saw it happen with my own eyes, 30 year old key west lobsterman
Felix Broch said.
That ship is lost in the devil's triangle just like god knows how
many other ships and planes.

Sorry about the quoted statement in Caps.
Can you guys (Karl?) and Gals help me find more info on this, please?

Thanks,

I wish you lot's of luck in finiding details of this mysterious occurance.

I'd love to know more about now, also. The statement made by the fisherman almost sounds like some sort of Project similar to the Philadephia Experiment.

Let me know how you go..
Cheers..

one - you are using the " weekly world news " as a source ?

two - start with the question :

` is there any evidence that an italian cuise liner nsamed " cara mia " was ever active on the caribean cruise curcuit ? `

if you want to fall bak to the claim " they erased all evidence " then consider the origins of the claims in your source

disposing of the alleged lobster fisherman is easy - compared to erasing every last reference to a 700 foot ship

i can find no Cruise ship built or renamed the Cara Mia.
and i looked through all the ships registries.
also looked up the CAPTAIN Carmen Formichella that is listed in the story and come back with a blank.
also Passadore-Semenza cruise line never existed on any records.
I also did a internet image search for the ship and found no ships looking like the photo in the story.
And the photo is a doctored photo of a holiday class cruise ship.
en.wikipedia.org...
www.iberocruceros.com...
www.pocruises.com.au...
www.shipparade.com...
Also there never was a cruise ship with twin winged stacks ever built.

Considering the source of the story i believe its a hoax story by this so called paper.

Ain't they the one with the bat boy stories

All dull respect ignorant,

Your still around and causing havoc are you. As to the subject matter, what really connected-me was this witnesses statement in mentioning Green mist.

Let's just suppose he was full of ignorance?, The green Mist is something you might google as there are many instances in disappearances and stunning silence associated with the color and silence, including U.S. Military events.

Certainly, I'm not suggesting anything with the source. But I can't find a bloody thing on the ship before or afterward and thought you-guys might help.

Yah, I know. It really is.
Mayhaps, I'll send a transmission to Paola Harris in Italy? See if She's got an answer or has the time to make time to do a little search for answers or can find the facts as to if the Ship ever existed?

Thanks for the reply, Maybe...maybe not.

U2U internos.....he'll know for sure.

However I believe he'll confirm it's a fake.

Hi Guys,
this was sent to Ms Harris a few minutes ago:

Hello Paola,

I know your a very busy-bee. But would like to ask your help in a simple matter, but one which may/may-not have involved the Italian cruise liner Cara Mia, during a Sept. 1993 voyage?

The gossip News Paper : Weekly World News, addition Sept.28, 1993, reported the apparent tragedy on or about Sept 23, 1993. I would have sent the story to the garbage can, except the witness mentioned a Green Mist.
Which according to Mr. Felix Broch a green mist encircled the ship. When the mist dissipated the Luxury Cruise Liner ' Cara Mia' was gone too. Now you and I and most researchers already know about many events which circumvented alertness and were academic to vanishing of people and/or interference of boats, planes and helicopters...

Ms. Harris, I need your expertise here. That you can confirm or deny an ITALIAN Cruise Ship/Liner 'Cara Mia' existed pre Sept.,1993. Or sank with all life lost around the same period" ?

The story is made-up. An event of that scale goes into the history books and people's memories...example. Charles Berlitz littered his Bermuda Triangle book with events like these and most if not all were found to be 'creatively described.'

As I was confirming the BSicity of the story, I found the oddest wtf website...The Cruise Ship Bruising Report
Missing - Murder - Death - Overboard - Rape - Injury - Epidemic
Fire - Sinking - Grounding - Mutiny - Drug Bust - Theft - Medical Malpractice. Just look in amazement at the side-bar contents! Who's bright idea was this site

G'day Kandinsky

At the risk of being off topic briefly, here's some other cheerful "vacation" type sites:

I think we should all stay home!

Crikey! What genre do these sites come under? Accident pornography? Death fetishism? Wtf are the target audience?!

Cheers for showing me a corner of humanity I hadn't heard of

I don't doubt your nonsense. But the problem is there is nothing referenced about this cruise ship that I could find--anywhere, except that foolish (seemingly) report from WN Sept, 1993. My reasoning for looking deeper is referenced above.

I hope a Mod fixes your thread...I'm scrolling left to right and maybe missing your point. Are you interested in the 'green mist?' If there was no ship to disappear and no Captain existed to report the non-existent event...it's unlikely there was a green mist.

Apologies if I'm wrong...it's early here

Uha, I agree, but my screen writing linear boundaries or my screen's resolution has nothing to do with it. I have no idea, like you.

Decoy

No offence to anyone but if i were interestested in reading pure fiction W.W.news would do.Not much credibility there.

Hi, of course, respect that opinion. Thin WW News folded into National Enquirer? Year and years ago?

Realize it's a shaky story. But I have a reason to now look further, based on a so-called Lobster Fisherman's statement which included something about the event that I had read from many places in times and times before. I'll get to it.

In /93 you really needed to know a bunch re EBE/UFO reported history before coming up with "Green Mist". Underline Green Mist 20 times.
Perhaps something really did occur. Let's see if Ms Harris responds, yes?

The bow shape & position of the "Cara Mia" bridge, in the earlier photograph from the newspaper/magazine, identifies this as a cruise ship, rather than an ocean liner. Her lines aren't modern, very 1980's looking, I thought initially the photograph might perhaps be that of an old Soviet cruise ship.

But look at the position of the aft funnel ... it doesn't sit right on the ship at all, it's too far aft.

Which leads me to think the photograph is of two ships of the same class in close proximity, one behind the other.

One ship with similar lines is the MV Pacific Sun, originally constructed as MV Jubilee. Take a look at the appearance of the bridge, the anchor points, the funnel & the funnel wing. Wiki suggests 3 ships of this class were constructed, sister ships being Holiday and Celebration.

I think it's a publicity photograph, tbh. I've never heard of a cruise ship called "Cara Mia".
