(CNN) The SS Cotopaxi vanished in 1925 and for decades, people speculated that it may have been a victim of the infamous Bermuda Triangle. It turns out, the ill-fated freighter is at the bottom of the ocean about 35 miles from St. Augustine, Florida, according to scientists, who say they've identified the ship. The site is known as "The Bear Wreck" to divers and spearfishers, who were unaware of its history. Michael Barnette first dove the wreck about 15 years ago and has been trying to identify it for a while. "I knew my heart that it was the Cotopaxi, but trying to prove it is something different," he told CNN.
