Eduard Bohlen

Wreck · Namibia

Eduard Bohlen was a ship that was stranded on the Skeleton Coast of German Southwest Africa while offloading equipment for a diamond mine on 5 September 1909 in a thick fog. After attempts made by marine vessel Otavi to get her afloat failed, the ship became entrenched in the sand. Miners later used it as a 'hotel' until the mine shut down.
