How far from the water is that vessel? It looks a fair way. Time for Google Earth, I think!
That last one should be Hopo (as in Hopoate) ;).Quote:

That photo is of the famous wreck of the ship Eduard Bohlen at Namibia's Skeleton Coast.
The Eduard Bohlen was a ship that ran aground off the coast of Namibia's Skeleton Coast on September 5, 1909, in a thick fog. Currently the wreck lies in the sand a quarter mile from the shoreline.
The ship was a 2,272 gross ton cargo ship with a length of 310 feet. In September 1909, it ran aground in thick fog and wrecked at Conception Bay while on a voyage from Swakopmund to Table Bay. This wreck is said to symbolise the loneliness of Namibia’s coast best. Its remains lie rusting in the sand, partially buried.
