The shipwreck Eduard Bohlen on the coast blends in with its surroundings. The skeleton coast is the most northern part of Namibia. This place we associate with many tales of shipwrecks and stranded sailors searching the desert for food and water. Not only are there ship skeletons, but there are also whale and seal skeletons. Additionally, the discovery of a few human skeletons also transpired. The typical fog of this coast is exceptionally blinding. It is resulting in ships running aground or wrecking on the off-shore rocks. The shoreline contains the remains of the wrecks. Some are in reasonably good condition, while others are barely recognizable.
