On its final voyage in early 1918, the collier USS Cyclops (AC-4) was travelling from Brazil to Baltimore with a full load of manganese ore. After an unscheduled stop in the Barbados around the first week of March, 1918, the ship disappeared off the US Atlantic coast, and no traces of it were ever found. The ship had a crew of 236 and 70 other persons aboard.

Suspicions surfaced because its captain, LCDR Worley, USNR, was actually a German, Johann Wichmann, and had an alleged psychological imbalance. But no record existed that he had acted to sink the ship, or to turn it over to the Germans, in the aftermath of World War I.

No, the USS Cyclops has never been found.
