Lost Tanker Still Mystery
Coast Guard units chased debris 200 miles east of Jacksonville amid hopes of locating the World War II tanker Sulphur Queen missing with 39 crew. A Coast Guard sweep found no evidence the debris belonged to the 524 foot ship, which disappeared eight days earlier after leaving Beaumont bound for Norfolk. The search recalled the 1918 Cyclops disappearance with 309 men aboard. USS Hoist and Coast Guard cutter Sweet Gum aided, but flotsam analysis suggested no link to the Sulphur Queen, which carried molten sulphur and may have shed a yellow substance.
