Video: Shipwrecks on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia

The Skeleton Coast is the northern part of the Atlantic coast of Namibia and south of Angola from the Kunene River south to the Swakop River, although the name is sometimes used to describe the entire Namib Desert coast. The Skeleton Coast's rough seas, roaring winds and strong ocean currents are primarily responsible for many of these beached ships' fate. Many of the wrecks on the harsh coastline have been completely destroyed by the sun, sea, and wind but a few are still visible.
