The Caribbean Sea, which borders three countries on the eastern side of the continent of Columbia, was known as the "most dangerous sea in the world."
It was not unusual for news of ships disappearing day after day to be reported in the newspapers, so gaining such notoriety was not surprising.
Indeed, maritime incidents in the Caribbean Sea were a favorite topic for magazine journalists.
It was an easy pick.
As the publication date approached and there was nothing to fill the pages, the editor instructed a reporter at leisure to write a special feature on disappearances in the Caribbean Sea.
The reporter then searched through the recently disappeared ship list and found a captain living near highly-rated restaurants in the area. They would then travel there, enjoy their business trip expenses, and submit an article to the editorial department by simply changing the names of the ships and cargo from their previous Caribbean Sea article.
