What's documented

The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the western North Atlantic bounded approximately by Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. The term was coined by writer Vincent Gaddis in Argosy magazine, February 1964. Lloyd's of London does not consider the region a higher-risk insurance area than other heavily trafficked oceans. The U.S. Coast Guard does not recognize the area as anomalous. Nonetheless, several verifiable disappearances of vessels and aircraft in the region are matters of established record.
