Mystery of the Folkestone Triangle

Area51 - A Channel Mystery
Supposedly, since the first recorded ship to disappear in the Bermuda Triangle in 1779 there has been many seemly unexplained sinking and losses in an area what is also referred to as the “Devil’s Triangle. Fortunately, we live in the British Isles and we do not have such stuff, as an 'Area 51' of seemly-unexplained losses, - or do we?
Ships do sink from time to time, during times of war and peace, also there are areas that are extremely hazardous to shipping in the world, but what is unusual is for numbers of ships to disappear in exactly the same location. But this is exactly what has been happened according to the Sites and Monuments Register kept by Kent County Council. For example there is an area of the seabed off the Folkestone and Dover coast in which the records held by the County showing eighty-four shipwrecks in three locations, each of which form a corner of the ‘Channel Triangle’. At the ‘Southern End’ of the ‘Channel Triangle’, the KCC records show that there are six nineteenth century shipwrecks, and five shipwrecks of the twentieth century. - These 11 vessels are recorded as sunk in position Latitude 50.9833359 Longitude 1.33333015.
