For many years people have reported seeing a ship deep in the desert of California.

"The question remains: Is there a lost ship in the desert sands of Salton Sea?"

[Red Badger]

It could be a leftover Hollywood movie set.

They were bad about leaving stuff when they finished shooting back in the early days of film....

Louis L’Amour wrote about this in a novel.

Dirk Pitt found it first.

I remember seeing an old Bat Masterson episode about this years ago.
I also read of it in a book by Brad Williams and Choral Pepper about lost treasures of the West.
Then True Treasure magazine had an interesting article about it.
I always thought the Salton Sea depression would be the best place. The ships sail in, then find their way out blocked, then the sea, more a lake, dries out and they are trapped.

Reminds me of the Clive Cussler novel “Sahara”, and movie, where Dirk Pitt finds a civil war ironclad filled with gold in the middle of the Sahara dessert.

But the Salton Sea was created by accident, they dug a dirt ditch to bring water from the colorado river to irrigate the new avocado orchards they planted and a 2 year flood of the colorado river created it in 1905.

Maybe they will find some Spanish balloons around it.

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

The truth is in;
“BLAZING SADDLES!”

[dynachrome]

“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.

How did a campus police car (complete with flashing lights and a box of donuts on the seat) end up on top of MIT's Building 10 Great Dome?

[NonValueAdded]

Gee, how could a ship end up on the Salton Sea? hmmm

The aliens are getting sloppy in returning their abductees.
