B - The Bermuda Triangle - a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area as uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the mid-20th century, but most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery. Featured in quite a few movies.

Watched it a few times on TV. Richard Widmark and a young Dean Stockwell. Bit of a cross between Moby Dick and Captains Courageous.

... or the KATTEGAT - sea area bounded by Jutland (Denmark), in the west, the Baltic Sea in the south, the Skagerrak in the north and Sweden in the east. Our history teacher at school used to mention it a lot. Probably when talking about the Vikings... or was it Kaiser Bill's naval strategy? Think he just liked saying the word.
