Surprisingly, Winer evinces a healthy skepticism to the whole Triangle phenomenon, preferring to tease out rational explanations for the disappearances of ships, planes and people rather than indulging in wild supernatural fantasies like, say, Charles Berlitz or John Wallace Spencer (whom he specifically calls out for conjuring bogus claims of mystery). Thus he ascribes the Marine Sulfur Queen's fate to a cargo explosion, the USS Cyclops disappearance to a possible mutiny... it's conjecture to be sure, but more reasonable than aliens or Atlantis. He makes his share of errors (repeating the easily-debunked tale of the Raifuku Maru and its "danger like dagger now!") and indulges in purple prose, but this is forgivable for entertainment, if not strictly factual purposes. Winer clearly enjoys spinning bits of nautical lore, with a wink letting you know that he doesn't necessarily believe in what he's writing, but can't we just pretend? Slight but fun supernatural reading; compared to other Triangle books, it's a work of matchless scholarship.
