Top 5 shipwrecks along Namibia's Skeleton Coast: 1. "Eduard Bohlen": 05.09.1909/Conception Bay. It was en-route from Swakopmund to Table Bay and ran aground at Conception Bay on 5 September 1909 in thick fog when it was due to offload equipment for the diamond workers near Conception Bay en route from Swakopmund to Table Bay. After offloading of some cargo and equipment aboard the Eduard Bohlen marine vessel Otavi (also in Top 5 list) attempted to tow the Eduard Bohlen from the sandbank. Unfortunately the attempt failed, 30 passengers disembarked and were transported to Swakopmund. Within next ten days, according to reports, so much sand settled around the Eduard Bohlen that it was possible to walk from the beach to the stranded ship at low tide. It is 800 m inland now and partially buried under the desert sand. Ships register shows that two ships named Eduard Bohlen were built. The first Eduard Bohlen was built in 1889 for the Woermann Line, but ownership was immediately transferred to the Deutsche Ost-Afrika Line and the ship was renamed Reichstag. The second Eduard Bohlen was a combination of passenger liner and cargo carrier. She was built by Blohm and Voss, in Hamburg, also for the Woermann Line. She was launched on 23 October 1890, and delivered on 28 January 1891. 2. "Zeila": 25.08.2008/14 km south of Henties Bay. The Zeila was stranded on 25 August 2008 in the early morning hours near “Die Walle”, a popular fishing spot about 14 km south of Henties Bay. The fishing trawler was retired by Hangana Fishing of Walvis Bay, was sold as scrap metal to an Indian company and got stranded after it came loose from its towing line while on its way to Bombay shortly after it left Walvis Bay. As the Zeila had been stripped to its shell it was decided to tow her to India. In August 2008 the Lara left Walvis Bay harbour on it's way to Bombay, with the Zeila in tow. In the middle of the night, not far beyond the Walvis Bay harbour limits, the towing line broke and the Zeila began to drift. Two Indian crewmen, who were at the mercy of the rough Atlantic waters, who were on board with nothing more than a life jacket and a handheld walkie talkie. After a terrifying night, cut off from the world and with little hope of survival, dawn finally brought some hope. During the night the Zeila had drifted close to shore and finally came to rest on a sandbank near a popular fishing spot. 3. "Shawnee": 1976/Conception Bay. The 1976 shipwreck of the Shaunee, a fishing trawler, nosed into the dunes at Conception Bay. In the former diamond rush era of Namibian History, Conception Bay was the entrance towards the old mining towns of Grillenberger, Holstazia and Charlottenfelder. GPS coordinates: -23.672940, 14.503963 4. "Frotamerica": 25.03.2013/near Anichab Rocks. The Brazilian 35 000 tons bulk cargo Frotamerica, built in 1979 by Estaleiro Ilha, on tow by MV SKUA to the scrapers, lost her tow and was wrecked near Anichab Rocks on 25 March 2013, no casualties reported. The wreckage and oil pollution present a threat to wildlife along the coast. GPS coordinates: -26.370131, 15.040215 5. "Otavi": 1945/Spencer Bay.
