Is it true that ships have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle without a trace?

No. Reference and peer-reviewed sources state that ship losses in the Bermuda Triangle occur no more often than in other ocean areas and are explained by natural causes, human error and heavy traffic, with the mystery described as an urban legend. A dictionary entry repeats the popular belief but hedges it as 'allegedly mysterious'.
