The S.S. Cotopaxi [1] was a tramp steamer named after the Cotopaxi stratovolcano. She sank in December 1925, while en route from Charleston, South Carolina, USA, to Havana, Cuba. All 32 crew were lost.
The Cotopaxi was under the command of a Captain Meyers, who reported by radio that the ship was listing and had water in its hold. Despite the last radio transmission indicating that the ship was about to sink, it has since been connected to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle.
The ship appears along with the Connemara IV, Cyclops, and Raifuku Maru, in the PC first-person shooter game The Ship, in which it disappears because the owner of the ship wants to convince the passengers to kill each other to survive for his own amusement.
In the Special Edition release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Cotopaxi is discovered in the Gobi Desert.
