Deserts are brutal and barren but one desert in Southern California is said to hold something truly astonishing.
Inland far from the sea is a ship that in myth became land locked after entering when waters had flooded the area.
What is the Legend of the Lost Ship of the Mojave?
The lost ship of the Mojave is one of the greatest unknown legends of the American southwest.
According to the myth somewhere in the Mojave Desert is a shipwreck.
The idea that a ship got lost inland in the desert is unheard of and this isn’t just any ship, it’s laden with gold, it’s got silver bars, it’s got jewels, black pearls, just got everything under the Sun, but could it possibly be real?
One man believed it was he was convinced that there was a ship out there he just doesn’t know where
His search would take him across one of the harshest environments on earth the desert with temperatures over 120 Fahrenheit in the shade.
There are no settlements there’s no support crew there’s nowhere to turn to. If you’re not properly prepared and you head out to the desert you can die.
This documentary is the amazing story of Charlie Clusky and the mystery of his quest for the legendary lost ship of the Mojave Desert.
In 1847 the man who would risk everything to find the lost ship was in search of a new life.
Another grown man lost forever in a fairy tale he can’t escape from,
Sad to say but this part of Southern California is so populated and explored that if this ship was anywhere within reach of people it would have been found by now. Likely if it exists its probably below the current Salton Sea level or it was found, plundered and burned and destroyed long ago by its finders to keep the source of their plunder secret.
