The Skeleton Coast

The Skeleton Coast is the coastline of southern Africa. It got its name because people found many bones from whales and seals there. There were also a lot of human bones along the coast. This place is famous for having a large number of shipwrecks, over a thousand in fact. When sailors hear about the Skeleton Coast, they are usually terrified.

In 1912, a ship called The Gertrud Woermann II sank and disappeared into the ocean. The ship was carrying hundreds of people, horses, and other items when it was destroyed by a strong storm. The Winston was another shipwreck off the Skeleton Coast. It hit the shore on 17 October, 1970. People can still see parts of the ship along the coast.

Sometimes a shipwreck comes with treasure. The discovery of the Bom Jesus was in April 2008, and a worker found many gold coins from the shipwreck. Most of the coins were of Spanish origin. However, it is believed that the ship came from Portugal, and it was sailing to India.
