Here is an old article that talked about a shipwreck discovery in the desert. The Bom Jesus departed from Lisbon, Portugal, on March 7, 1533. India was its intended destination. The ship may have hit a rock off the coast of Namibia, tilted, and then capsized closed to the shore. It remained connected with the seafloor until the coastline receded and extended the Namibian desert. the Bom Jesus became a “shipwreck discovered in the desert” event.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese ship Bom Jesus (Good Jesus) set sail from Lisbon, Portugal on March 7, 1533. It was bound for India, laden with treasures such as gold and copper ingots, before sinking in a violent storm.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until 2008 that its remains were discovered during diamond mining operations in the Namibian desert.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that the hull of the Bom Jesus hit a rock in a storm off Namibia and tilted, causing the ship to capsize. The ship was found to have sunk very close to the shore. As the coastline receded, the Bom Jesus reappeared in the desert.<\/p>\n

The condition of the ship indicates that the storm that caused the wreck was very violent. But the absence of human remains in the area, apart from a few scattered bone fragments, suggests that most of the crew and passengers, if any, survived the wreck or drowned in the waters.<\/p>\n

Dr. Noli, chief archaeologist at the South African Institute for Marine Archaeological Research, said the coastline has recently been notorious for storms, so finding a shipwreck was hardly surprising.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
