They left out the part about how a sea ship ended up on land in a desert or how far inland it is.

No wonder it was lost. Who would look for a ship in the desert?

Whenever I hear about vessels lost in the Namibian dessert, I always think of the Lady Be Good. She was a B-24 that disappeared while returning from the bombing raid on Ploesti refinery in Romania. She was navigating by Adcock Beam aural signals that gave the same signal coming and going. Missed the station passage signal and flew on into the desert for several hundred miles until her fuel ran out. Found intact a few decades later

Did they just admit the sea level went down for reasons unrelated to human activities?Oh come on, everybody knows that Obama caused the seas to recede.

How could a ship that set sail from Portugal end up in a desert... Right, climate change rising sea levels...wait wouldn’t that mean the ship should be farther underwater than when it sank?

That’s a different movie.

This has the aura of an Indian Jones mystery. Image what Robert Louis Stevenson could have done with this material.

Sand dunes drift. Namibian coastline has lots of sand dunes.

A boat forced ashore on a sandy beach in a storm is quickly covered and ‘lost’. As tine goes by the sand builds up along the shore, extending the desert further into what was once ocean.

I preferred A TWIST OF SAND(1968) Wrecked sub, wrecked 1500s ship.
Anyone remember that old movie?

They’ve found paddle boat wrecks in corn fields in Nebraska and Iowa.

thanks...
I really didn't need a sarcasm tag...
"By 2100, we could see as little as 8 inches of additional sea level rise, or over 6 feet—based partly on how much we continue to pollute the climate, and partly on how the oceans respond to climate change that's already baked in."https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/what-are-best-and-worst-case-scenarios-sea-level-rise so the seas are going to reclaim part of what they lost ? What caused the seas to recede ? Global warming ? or...
I know, back to re-education camp for me...

What caused the seas to recede
—
Recession is local most likely as is reclamation as storms, high winds and the sea push the sand around. Then there are plate tectonics pushing up or down (along with attendant earthquakes) - just a tiny bit, but on long sloping shallows it becomes significant over hundreds of years.
Point is there are many non-obvious factors that cause “apparent” sea level rise or fall.
The 8” and the 6 foot quote is just ridiculous.

Was that the movie with Dirk somebody as the hero? Happened on a river, looking for some ship connected with Pres. Lincoln, or am I total misremembering?
