This was a great adventure regardless. Thank you gentlemen for this fascinating documentary. I've been an explorer in the Mojave desert with my father since age 5. We'd go exploring out in the abandoned mines out by Jawbone Cyn. & Ransburg. This brought back fond memories.💗🌞🙏

I grew up in the Salton Sea area. Didn't see a ship but that doesn't mean its not there. The desert is a strange and wonderful place especially this area. Very dangerous if your not used to it and are not prepared. Beware. It's hot.

I’ve lived in san Diego all my life and travel in this area many many times, this is the first time I’ve heard of this story, this ship. Amazing.

I heard this tale from my Great Grandfather who heard it from his grand father when I was a kid back in the 50's. His tale was somewhat different. The ship was Spanish and it was traveling up the Baja Sea collecting pearls by trading with the local Natives. It wasn't carrying gold and such just pearls when it became stranded. I'm sure some specialized satellite equipment could possibly locate it's remains. And while their at it maybe they could locate the Aztec treasure buried on Isla Tiburon.

Once saw a city in the sky. A mirage of a small town 12 miles away over the horizon...could see people walking around ect

It's supposed to be 15 miles west of Dos Palmas Oasis. It could still be underwater. There are also 24 missing WW2 aircraft in the Salton Sea.

Admirable detail was given to the period costumes and sets. Nice work!

Someone call the History Channel! Got a new reality adventure series! Curse of the Desert Pirate Gold!!

Charlie, you are my man!. Determination not giving up and go for it the only way.

Noted something interesting; a map showed the Route Charlie Took from Cincinnati to California. Part of it was the Route 66. Mythos live on. Atlantis, Lemuria, A Route from Xenia, OH where Simon Kenton ran one of his gauntlets. This area is supposed to have a buried treasure. We as people have a fascination with legends and supposed buried treasures and artifacts,

Im surprised Charlie found California.

I never heard this legend. This is exciting!

A small museum in Julian once possessed a map of the location of this ship along with an account of its appearance and contents as well as stories of it reported by the old natives, when we went there in 2016 the curator brought us to its place discovering it was missing. Knowing enough to locate it generally we took some good photographs of the area environs just to illustrate telling the story, but had no time or preparedness to explore that ravine... This reminds me of what we almost did!

Best documentary ever.. 4th timr watching it.. I really would like to see more!

That ship has sailed!

Very interesting Story & well told 👍

It's not the Mojave desert. It's the Colorado Desert and is a part of the larger Sonoran Desert. The Mohave is north of here and at a higher altitude.

Mysteriously, mysterious 😊

Great story i have never heard of!

Also abandoned in the Mohave desert: the full "Ben Hur" Roman colosseum from the chariot race, and the palace of Egypt with pyramids in the background... Hollywood has left many treasures in the desert.

The newspaper man is tuff to go with no horse and walk for 20 days in the desert.They found a 🐋 in the jungle recently so a ship in the desert doesn't sound far fetched.

Loved this documentary, very good.

If you listen to the amount of time between it being seen. As the ship broke down. Nobody would see the same ship. With just the top of a hull above ground and the structures of the upper fore deck fallen down a ship might be mistaken as a Viking long ship.

He took a different route each time.

Should have given that poor ol horse a name, Chuckie-boy. In the desert, you can't remember your name!

Cool story! whether there really is a ship in the desert or not, the idea is tantalising and so delicious to the imagination. Just imagine if it were true and you found it.....

Spent 20 years out there studying even some stone age geology, don't doubt it could be there. Don't dig near big Joshua trees.

This is what happens when someone chews on to much cactus

I love this hard story, wow😮😮😮

If so it would most likely be at the bottom of Salton Sea in CA. That would be the most likely spot for they would try to keep the ship at the furthest point from being stranded on the ground. So that is where I would look for it. Back then it would be just sand and soil it was not full like it is now till the farmers used it to drain for their fields and irrigation took over the valley. They call it the Salton sea because it is full of minerals and pollution from agricultural uses and the water is unable to continue out to the Colorado river and so it remains dead with no life or fish remaining in it. I think if there was a ship there any and all cargo would have been pilfered by now. Oh Charlie that is talked about in this video would need to take supplies for him and his horses/mules with enough water to keep them for months and that would be more restrictive than the food he would have to carry along as well. He would be in a no way back adventure, so he would need investors to keep shipping him supplies while he looked for the treasure. They themselves would need to make a speedy trip with with caravans of wagons so a road would need to be prepared as well so the venture could keep working and not get bogged down in the soft blowing sands of that desert. it would have been a disaster from the start. But here's another way this story can come to a either disappointing end or he makes good on his efforts or is killed and taken advantage of by those who embed themselves in his adventure and take him and everything they find and keep it for themselves; and say Charlie died on the trip, or make up a story and say his horse stumbled and he fell and broke his neck in the fall. But whatever story they come back with Charlie is no more. I do believe I could write a book and sell it as well.

" after initial success, his luck ran dry" Translation. He jumped somebody else's claim, and then staked a claim that he pretended to be the source

Everything under....the sun. Yes it all is. '......If you don't know where you are, you can get lost easily...'. duh, you are lost.

Mohave desert is brutal.

Wow, imagine that amazing.

Charley had this gift of gab..

Since we live in modern times they can always look for it with a satellite from space

They have millionaires and helicopters now

File this garbage in with the lost treasure of Oak Island.

You could be a great channel. Keep it up

But Charlie, he don t say much.

An old television western bat Masterson tells of a same tail

Nice story. I would have enjoyed it more without the drama added by the story tellers. As a man of science, the added drama is a waste of time for me. I always find it odd when people think they know what someone was thinking or feeling. How the harsh reality of life frightens the hell out of some people only strengthens my deduction of how soft people have become. I own land off grid and spend as much time there as i can. So much more enjoyable no matter how much harder life is, living is so much easier. So peaceful. No electric no water no internet no cell service not even roads. Just peace.

Story reminds me of Lasseter's Reef Australia.

This area was covered in water once, but that was thousands of years before the Europeans came.

Anyone got LIDAR or some such? I feel that could be a good starting point and it is worth a crack as I feel far more study of desert areas is needed due to many historians and archeologists etc seemingly have the delusion of 'once a desert, always a desert therefore it must be devoid of history'. Blatantly this attitude and this so-called myth being treated at least somewhat dismissively imply avoidance and blase cockiness. Kind of like was the case with Ankhor Wat and even more so with regards to all those 'lost' cities in the Amazon basin.

Noah's flood

He was looking for shells hidiat!those he found before he thought he'd seen! He wasn't looking for gold?.

I guess thats where the saying ,he was a right Charlie came from.

Surely a horse would not have survived the desert.

Satellites

Was it a mirage initially when dehydrated.

Quicksand don't kill you! You won't drown you are less dense and float. He couldn't have known that though and it is still a scary situation especially with im relying on his horse in the desert.

A ripping yarn indeed lol

Load of Bull-Ship to me......

The list ship is the legendary Black Pearl.

22:00 sadly UFC champion #EvanTanner is an example of venturing into the desert without being totally prepared 😢

Who was the voice the main voice anyone know? Thank you

United States of America is so great that it's greatness makes me want to die for it's wellbeing and survival of it's civilization

Maybe the ship is the "vliegende hollander" (the Flying dutchman) 😊

Is this guy where the expression a “Proper Charlie” comes from?

Last year in the desert it got up to 126° at least. The wind in the daytime is just hot day and into the night. Let the horse find water, they can smell it. By the third trip the horse is saying I think I'll stay here.

The ship would not have been sitting on the sand in tact.

...the love of money

i thought the had a wagon full of suplies

There’s no such thing as a lost ship in the desert 🏜️. You’re better off finding Bigfoot. Lol

👍🏽

I'm still looking for the camel.

There never was a ship…. just tall tales and myths.

Except this was not in the Mojave desert, it's the Colorado desert.

Ghost shift 😄😀😆🤣

like most deserts. the wind blows and the sand moves. would not be surprised if there is a Vicking long ship out there some where. metal detcting might be able to find it. have to find where the Sultin Sea was in the 2nd through the 7th centuries. some say the sea was man made in the 19th/20th century. others say it has come and went for the last 10,000 years. that it actually connected with the Sea of Cortez. could the long ship be in the Sea of Cortez instead?

Oh poor Charlie??? What about his poor horse???😮

Why was talon walking instead of riding.

Lake Kaweah is not fed by the Colorado River.

why don't they do sonar from up above? satellite?

you every hear about ghost ship. they have ghost people, animals and whatever, so what about ghost ship

How did Charlie make money to do all this wondering?

What is the name of the fellow here? Charlie Kloska turns up nothing in an internet search. I dont think I have the spelling correct...

Is it just me, or was that Dave Turin playing Charlie??

what a crock! anything for tv.

When a ship has no water underneath it, there is no way the ship would be standing straight up. It would be laying on its side. - lied.

How the hell would quicksand tear the hair out of anything???

That's the biggest farce I've ever heard you're the problem is it's probably already been sacked and ripped off and everything like that

A great story for sure , but who cast the block of wood playing Charlie ..jeeezzz..what a boring visage

has no one bothered Ariel mapping

White Americans? Those we the only Americans 😂

I know exactly where that lost ship is, and why it's there!!! It's right next to the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine, which is located in the Superstition Mountains at the far western edge of Area 51. What happened was when they loaded the ship up with all the gold from the mine, it was too heavy and sank from the weight, taking all the miners and mariners with it. I've seen it from a distance while riding through the desert on a horse with no name, but no one can get too close to it because it's guarded by Bigfoot.

I grew up here in the Coachella and Imperial valley deserts. I'm 67 and after 50 years of gathering information and cataloging clues I know where the ship is however it is on FEDERAL LAND and may as well stay lost. One coin was sold for $38,000.00 , the finder kept quite except for the coin collector he sold it to. The collector had no idea where it came from, just that it was authentic. HOWEVER IT IS ON FEDERAL LAND AND GOOD LUCK TRYING TO EVEN GET A PERCENTAGE OF THE VALUE FROM THEM.

should have used google earth

At 70, this is the 12th story I've read about ships in the desert. Its NOT a new storyline. Its no surprise when another fictitious story gets made up, every decade or so... 😂.

Some Problems. 1) Did the native American story-teller speak English? Apparently so, but this begs disbelief. 2) What about the poor horses he rode across the barren wilderness? I have little sympathy for this guy Charlie. but lots of concern for his horse(s).

Americans and their tall tales - not going to waste my time on this.

The fact that so many people flocked to California during the gold rush wasn't entirely relevant when it comes to finding gold. Sure, you'll have a slightly less chance at staking the claim you want, but there was and still is plenty of gold in California to go around... You just gotta find it

Εγώ ξέρω ότι υπάρχει καί ξέρω ακόμα γιατί πήγε εκεί οποίος θέλει μπορούμε νά τού πούμε 48:20

That actor has the most boring demeanor of any acting I've ever seen. Its borderline frustrating. He doesn't even crack a grin. "his eyes must have been bulging out his head" 😐

WHAT A CRAP !!!

Save you 50 mins. Like always .... No ship, no monster, no giant octopus, no treasure 😑

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bottom line, Charlie was not a smart man. I doubt he ever saw a ship. I doubt the whole story. Why did he never bring a compass and map his travels? IGNORANCE! Or lies?

Myths feed off the gullible and uneducated. If not for dummies Myths would be stories to entertain children with. Can say much more about anyone spending time proving or disproving the these ridiculous claims. Spend time in a scorching hot desert and anything imaginable will manifest itself.
