Woman Discovers Sunken Ship on Google Maps - Follows the Trail of Truth
Kendal
Kendal believed she may have made the discovery of the century when she stumbled upon a sunken ship on Google Maps. Determined not to be deterred, she knew she would stop at nothing until she reached the sunken vessel. However, upon finally reaching the site, she realized that the ship was there for a good reason. This was something she could never have imagined...The Path to the Ship
Reaching the ship was no easy task, as the government had made the entire harbor inaccessible to the public. Anyone attempting to go there would encounter fences and occasional guards. Although Kendal was fully aware she was trespassing, curiosity prevailed. She had to uncover the truth behind the mysterious ship she had stumbled upon. Keep reading to learn the whole story.
The Secret
The sunken ship was actually very close to the water's surface, and Kendal could reach it with a dive. From the outside, it didn't seem extraordinary, but the secrets it held would astonish Kendal.
It didn't take long for her to understand why the government wanted to keep visitors away from the ship and why they had left it submerged. Soon, she realized that she should never have sought out the ship.
Could It Be True?
When Kendal first discovered the sunken ship on Google Maps, she couldn't believe her eyes. She thought it might be a prank by Google, but further research failed to confirm this.
The ship looked so realistic that she suspected it might actually be real. Was it possible for a sunken ship to be in a small harbor with no one bothering about it?
A Well-Deserved Vacation
Kendal and her boyfriend, Jim, had planned a vacation on a small island. They would spend a week exploring the island, and Kendal had familiarized herself with the activities in the area through the internet.
She searched online for events, recreational activities, and reviews to make the most out of their well-deserved vacation. Then she suddenly came across something mysterious that she hadn't expected.
Searching the Internet
The photos she had found on Google Maps were relatively new, but she doubted whether the ship was still there. Perhaps it had been moved out of the harbor by now.
However, she couldn't find any further information online. In fact, she found nothing at all about sunken ships related to the entire island. Kendal was almost certain that this was not a prank someone at Google had come up with.
Prioritizing the Excursion
Though it was difficult to find any information about the ship, Kendal couldn't forget about the whole matter. Eventually, she added it to the list of excursions she and her boyfriend had planned.
In fact, the ship was at the top of their list of activities simply because she could no longer contain her curiosity. She continued to ponder the possible reasons why the ship even existed.
Why Was There No Information?
For the rest of the week, Kendal pondered over the ship. As their vacation drew closer, excitement grew. Kendal concluded that at least the locals must know about the ship.
She couldn't be the first one to have discovered it on Google Maps. The question was, was the island trying to keep a secret surrounding the ship? After all, there was nothing to be found online.
Reaching the Island
After a journey of 15 hours involving various flights, car rides, and a boat, they finally reached the island. Kendal and Jim were relieved to finally unwind. Kendal had already told her boyfriend about the sunken ship multiple times, and she immediately suggested visiting the harbor.
However, Jim was tired from the journey, and it was already getting late in the day. So they decided to wait for the night and embark on their search the next day.
Nothing Unusual
Kendal had managed to pique Jim's interest in the ship, but he hadn't done any internet research or given it much thought beyond that. He was the logical thinker in their relationship.
He assumed there was no secret or anything to report about. It was probably just a sunken ship. Would he turn out to be wrong with his assumption?
Does the place even exist?
The following morning, they tried to communicate with a taxi driver. They asked him to take them both to the harbor and were surprised when the taxi driver reacted.
He seemed confused. They showed him pictures and pointed to the part of the island they wanted to see, but he had no clue what they were talking about. He had no idea about a sunken ship.
A Change
The island was very small, and Kendal assumed that the taxi driver must spend the whole day shuttling tourists from one place to another. He must know all the sites, all the beaches, and harbors, right?
They tried using Google Maps to find a way, and eventually, the taxi driver seemed to realize which area the harbor was in. Then, the situation became even stranger than before.
A Well-Guarded Secret
The taxi driver's expression suddenly changed when he realized where the two tourists wanted to go. He carefully explained that he couldn't take them there, and for a good reason.
Tourists simply were not allowed in that area. He asked Kendal and Jim to leave his taxi, to respect the island, and not to ask any more questions about it. So, it was indeed a well-guarded secret.
Being Stubborn
Jim was simply speechless. He couldn't believe they had stumbled upon a real secret. Kendal, on the other hand, became even more excited, realizing that she had truly piqued Jim's interest. Her hope was that something exciting was indeed happening at that harbor, and it probably had to do with the ship. They had to get as close as possible to the forbidden region—the decision was made.
The couple had to accept that the taxi wouldn't take them to where the island's secrets lay, and they decided to embark on a relatively long hike. They had no other choice. It was a three-hour trek through forests and over hills. They enjoyed the scenery and encountered no one. No one would know that they were approaching unauthorized territory—it was ideal.
Being Uncertain
As they made their way, Jim started questioning the whole plan. Was Kendal's plan really the best option? If they were not allowed access somewhere, shouldn't they abide by that and avoid getting into trouble with the police?
Their vacation might be cut short, possibly after just one day, despite their anticipation. When Jim voiced his thoughts, he received little understanding—Kendal was determined to remain stubborn.
Arrival
As they approached the harbor, they encountered a tall fence that enclosed the entire area. The fence was so high that any tourist could tell they had no access here.
Moreover, signs were hung all over the fence, indicating that loitering was prohibited. The signs were written in all kinds of languages, making it clear to people of all nationalities on vacation.
This couldn't be legal...
Kendal took a running start, determined to push herself off the ground and climb over the fence. However, Jim tried to hold her back, reasoning with her once again.
It was becoming ridiculous. If they were caught, they might not only be sent home but could potentially end up in the island's prison. Who knows what conditions were like there? Jim certainly didn't want to spend his week in jail.
A crucial decision
If Kendal truly intended to go through with it, he wouldn't stop her—but he would share his opinion and not accompany her any further on this mission. He was on the island to enjoy his beach vacation, not to end up in a prison cell.
He hoped Kendal would realize that her plan was crazy and return with him. But that wasn't the case. She had a determination that few people possessed.
Following Through
Kendal didn't harbor any ill feelings towards Jim for not continuing with her. She refused to let her adventurous spirit be suppressed. She told him that she would meet him back at the hotel and that he should go ahead and leave for now.
Jim left Kendal behind, somewhat disappointed but not truly surprised. He knew his girlfriend well and had expected this reaction. Once Kendal had an idea in her head, she wouldn't back down.
It looked familiar
Kendal continued her hike towards the harbor. She hadn't encountered another soul in a long time, and from a distance, the harbor looked as if it had been abandoned a long time ago.
In fact, it almost looked exactly like the picture on Google Maps that she had memorized. The same boats were docked in the harbor, and Kendal wondered if she had made a mistake by coming here.
Seizing the Opportunity
The harbor was likely closed at the time the satellite photo was taken. This gave her renewed hope that the boat might still be there. Kendal cast a cautious gaze over the open area, making sure there was really no one around who could see her.
Emerging from the bushes, she slowly approached the water. Would she now uncover the secret of the harbor? Was there even a secret at all?
Just a Little Submerged
As Kendal looked out to the sea, she immediately recognized the submerged ship. It looked just like the pictures she had found on Google Maps. The ship seemed even closer to the surface than she had expected.
It was so close that she could have dived down to it. Kendal was a strong swimmer, and she contemplated whether she should venture into the water. Could she find something there that the locals hadn't discovered yet?
An Old Military Ship
As Kendal swam towards the ship, she realized that it was an old navy vessel that had sunk during a storm. It was possible that the ship was still loaded with explosive devices, making it dangerous to extract it from the water.
The harbor had been shut down because other boats no longer wanted to approach, and that's why the entire area was secured. Everything made sense in the end.
