ok, i have learned that the bermuda triangle is the western subset of the sargasso sea.

but my theory would be that the sargasso and the bermuda ∆ legends are about the fear of sailing off the map into vanished nowhere: in the first you get becalmed/tangled in a zone beyond human ken and never make port, in the second you pass off the relevant radar and don't re-appear
radio and radar ensured the sargasso problem was minimised; all kinds of modern navigation devices, esp. GPS, make bermuda-type vanishing much less likely
luckily there are still FREAK WAVES and GIANT SQUIDS!!!!
xp yes the sargasso seems to vary quite a lot, the biggest versions are much larger than the BT: also plus the BT was def more about magnetic anomalies than scary seaweed, it engulfed aeroplanes!
