The Lost Ship in the Desert: Sonora Desert
Desert Sun ^ | between 1996 and 2022 | Bob Difley

Posted on 07/12/2022 10:58:29 AM PDT by SunkenCiv

How could a ship come to rest on desert sands so far from salt water? One explanation holds that an exceptionally large tide from the Gulf of California may have collided with an exceptionally heavy runoff from the Colorado River at the delta, producing a flood which broke through the land barrier to the Salton Sea. The cresting waters could have carried a ship over the natural dam and down into the Salton Sea basin. The flood would have then retreated, leaving the vessel stranded.

Maybe they will find some Spanish balloons around it.

There’s probably a way to make an interesting “National Treasure” sequel out of this. It would have to be better than the second movie.

How did the ship end up in the desert?

And why the heck were the Confederates doing in Africa?

This is what happens when you don’t look at a map and rely totally on GPS.

Or, female “comedians” could claim it was because the men wouldn’t stop and ask for directions.

I’d suggest watching the 3-4 minute vid linked in post #1, then trying the longer one. Lots of others turned up in the search, as well.

“The story has been portrayed in books and even Hollywood got into the act; the old radio show Death Valley Days ran an episode in 1940, an episode of the television series Bat Masterson titled “The Desert Ship” ran in 1959, CBS radio ran one on “Suspense” titled “The Lost Ship” in 1962 “

I’ll have to see if any of these are available.
