I was looking at the airport nearby and saw this ship which is pretty far inland. It appears to be high and dry, looks rusty, and looks to have been there a while. Looks like a shipwreck to me. I've never been there, and don't have a ground-based photo.

How about a sunken plane? I reckon it still qualifies as a wreck, doesn't it?
You already knew this one as evidenced by http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/481885/an//page//vc/1 but somehow it hasn't made it yet in your collection.
Other bits of info at http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/487906/an//page/vc/vc/1 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman's_Cay

Hi,
I wonder why I cannot find the wreck of the Shaunee, pictured here several times
http://www.pbase.com/bmcmorrow/swakopmund&page=all
and well-known enough to be mentioned on many Namibia tourist sites?
I've looked and looked. Anyone else had any luck?

Hi oxfordman..
They are hard to find there, I search several times there and never find something.
only two ships are found yet, one by "Aversier"
and the other by "jutulzilla" , but there is much more. maybe your the next..
so keep on hunting

Shipwreck, the name of the Ship was The Goslar.
This ship is an Old Warship that did it's job long ago in the second world war, it sunk just there in the suriname river, where it is stil.
This ship wil never be removed from its place, because many small boats with passengers use the waters surrounding it, to get to the other side, namely Commewijne.
It is said, that this shipwreck, when removed wil create enormous waterswirls that could potentialy bring small ships down.
That is the only reason why this ship is stil hanging arround for ever passerby to see hehe...it is a subject in surinamese history classes.
