We almost saw this desert ship from last many year, but never try to know about this ship, Today I share the little information about this desert ship. Edward Bolen - German cargo and passenger ship weighing 2,272 tons and 310 feet long, is stranded on a shoal off the coast of the desert Namib September 5, 1909. The ship was built in Hamburg in 1891 and floated on the route Hamburg - West Africa . However, the fast flow and thick fog characteristic of the desert coast of the Namib , were the cause of the disaster.
