Eduard Bohlen
Eduard Bohlen was a ship that was stranded on the Skeleton Coast of German Southwest Africa (now Namibia) 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.
The wreck currently lies in the sand 400 m (1,300 ft) from the shoreline.
Eduard Bohlen was a 2,272 gross ton cargo ship with a length of 94 m (310 ft). In September 1909, she ran aground in thick fog and was wrecked at Conception Bay while on a voyage from Swakopmund to Table Bay.
Bohlen lies near two other wrecks: Otavi, which foundered here and sank in 1945, and MV Dunedin Star, among the many wrecks of the Skeleton Coast.
