I just read about this news and I was going to break the news here... But... Y'all beat me to it. LOL!
Well, I put some work into putting this information together, and I don't want it to go to waste... And So...
The SS Cotopaxi:
SS Cotopaxi was an Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC) Design 1060 bulk carrier built for the United States Shipping Board (USSB) under the World War I emergency shipbuilding program. The ship, launched 15 November 1918, was named after the Cotopaxi stratovolcano of Ecuador. The ship arrived in Boston 22 December 1918 to begin operations for the USSB through 23 December 1919 when Cotopaxi was delivered to the Clinchfield Navigation Company under terms of sale... During operation for the USSB the ship suffered serious damage in a grounding on the coast of Brazil and later, operating for Clinchfield Navigation, was involved in a collision with a tug in Havana resulting in the tug being sunk.

The Final voyage:
On 29 November 1925, Cotopaxi departed Charleston, South Carolina, for Havana, Cuba, under Captain W. J. Meyer with a cargo of coal and a crew of thirty-two. On 1 December, Cotopaxi radioed a distress call reporting that the ship was listing and taking on water during a tropical storm. The ship was officially listed as overdue on 31 December.

The "Special Edition" of the film:
In 1979, Columbia gave Spielberg $1.5 million to produce what became the "Special Edition" of the film. Spielberg added seven minutes of new footage, but also deleted or shortened various existing scenes by a total of ten minutes, so that the Special Edition was three minutes shorter than the original 1977 release, running 132 minutes. The Special Edition featured several new character development scenes... the discovery of the SS Cotopaxi in the Gobi Desert... and a view of the inside of the mothership. Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Special Edition was released in August 1980...
The Mothership climax Of The Film:
After the UFOs leave, an enormous mothership lands at the site, also using light and sound to teach the specialists the aliens' basic tonal vocabulary. It then releases the missing pilots from Flight 19... as well as the missing sailors from the Cotopaxi... and many other long-missing people, all from different past eras and all of whom have not aged since their abductions. Barry is also returned and reunited with a relieved Jillian.

Mysterious Bermuda Triangle ‘Ghost Ship’ Discovered 95 Years After It Vanished
01/30/2020 05:22 am ET
Explorers have found the long-lost wreck of the SS Cotopaxi, which disappeared in 1925.
The long-lost wreck of the SS Cotopaxi ― a steamship referenced in movies, memes and myth ― has been discovered off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida almost a century after vanishing near the Bermuda Triangle.
“It was incredibly exciting,” Michael Barnette, the diver, author and researcher who helped find the wreck, said via email. “I’ve done a countless number of shipwreck dives but this one truly stood out.”
Barnette is the lead explorer of “Shipwreck Secrets,” a new Science Channel series that will feature the discovery of the Cotopaxi in its premiere episode.
...
“Shipwreck Secrets” debuts at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Feb. 9 on the Science Channel, followed by the premiere of a second new series, “Curse of the Bermuda Triangle” at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
