The Eduard Bohlen was a German cargo ship that ran aground on September 5, 1909, along the Skeleton Coast in Namibia. It is one of the most famous shipwrecks in the area and has since become a symbol of the treacherous conditions of the Namib Desert. The wreck lies approximately 400 meters inland due to the shifting sands and coastal changes over the years.
