There's something tragic about a beached ship; not only is it "dead", but it's died on land rather than in the ocean and been denied a sailor's burial. You can imagine the surprise then, when our intrepid heroes run into a ship in the middle of the desert. Somehow this ship has been wrecked on land and far from water. If it isn't just there to look ominous and creepy like a Ribcage Ridge, then it will very likely hold important supplies, clues or shelter from the desert environment for the heroes. The fact that the ship has run aground can mean a lot of things about the desert or setting. Mundane explanations include receding shorelines due to climate change or a typhoon/tropical storm/tornado. Weirder possibilities include but aren't limited to: a Teleporter Accident, The End of the World as We Know It having come and gone, the captain being that bad of a navigator, the place where all the stuff the Negative Space Wedgie sucks up gets dumped, or any of a hundred other possibilities. They may end up becoming Boats into Buildings. While parts of the Sahara actually were once part of the Mediterranean Sea, this was well before ships (or even humans) existed and thus a literal Saharan shipwreck is exceedingly unlikely. A subtrope of Eerily Out-of-Place Object. |

Another spacecraft buried beneath the sands of a desert is what kick-starts the plot of the first Homeworld game. The prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak follows the Northern Coalition's second expedition to recover said spaceship, in an aircraft carrier on treads. In one of the early missions, they discover the wreck of the "first" expedition's carrier. |

The party actually uses one of these as their main transportation in Dragon Quest VIII, after using magic to get it back to sea. Strangely for a fantastic setting, its pretty clearly stated to be a receding coastline issue—they get it back to sea by using magic to "get the area to remember when there was ocean there." | |

Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: A wrecked ship is located in Crocodile Cauldron, the second world and a volcano. The ship itself is in a small lake of superheated water. The third world with the swamp theme has also a semi sunken ship in it. Given that the overall theme of this game is Pirates, there could have been even more of these in the other worlds. Donkey Kong Country Returns features a shipwreck at the top of a cliff in World 6, which is themed around Prehistoria. |

In Father and Daughter, a father apparently commits Suicide by Sea, hugging his daughter goodbye and then rowing into the ocean in a rowboat, never to be seen again. Eventually the shallow sea coast is drained and made into a Dutch polder. Decades later, when the little girl is now an old woman, she walks out onto the polder and finds her father's rowboat, half-buried in sand. | |

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness has the S.S. Libra. In this case, you actually see how it got there in the beginning of the game: it was dropped there by Shadow Lugia. Unlike most of the examples, the Libra was dumped in the Eclo Wastes far more recently than most ships described by this trope, and aside from Cipher and Snagem interlopers, there's only one local on board. Cipher looted the Pokémon on the ship during their attack, and the human sailors were thrown overboard. Your visit to the Libra is the first time anyone could get a good glimpse of what happened to it. | |

Highway 17 in Half-Life 2 is peppered with these, as well as other places (like canals rendered so shallow only an airboat can get through) which feature beached craft quite prominently. Word of God is that the Combine have been harvesting water from the earth's oceans, lowering the water level substantially. The Aperture Science Labs research vessel Borealis is slated to appear in Episode 3 (whenever it finally comes out). It disappeared from its dry dock one night, as did large parts of its dry dock; teaser art shows it lodged in an ice canyon who-knows-where. | |

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: In "Night on Haunted Mountain", an attack from Dark Lilith leads the gang to the top of Mount Diabla, where they find the long-abandoned Santa Lucia, an old Spanish galleon that was used by the conquistadors, filled with a variety of ancient traps. It is later revealed that the ship was intentionally brought to the top of the mountain by the conquistadors, in order to hide a piece of the Planispheric Disk. The ship is subsequently dislodged from the mountain once the piece is retrieved, destroying both the ship and most of the nearby trailer park town. | |

A couple of MechWarrior missions have taken place in areas that were formerly underwater. In 2: Mercenaries, it's possible to visit a world that used to be more temperate until its orbit somehow moved closer to its sun and most of the ocean boiled off; the campaign will eventually have you go into the now empty hull of a wrecked ocean liner in the middle of a desert. In 3, you'll enter an area that used to be a lake until it was drained—look around and you'll find stranded Sea Mines (which of course will blow up if you shoot or step on them) and the wrecked hulls of several sunken ships in the dried out lake bed. | |

Oblivion (2013) is set in 2077 after Earth was devastated by an interstellar war. The destruction of our moon led to tsunamis wiping out most of the land, and what's left of the oceans are being drained to provide fuel for fusion reactors. At one point we see the hero riding his Cool Bike across a plain with lots of shipwrecks sticking out of the ground, including a nuclear submarine with all its missile hatches open. | |

Mario & Luigi: Happens in the original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga with the pirate ship in the middle of Teehee Valley. The brothers manage to get the ship moving again when the cork holding the water back is removed and the ship sails on the open seas once again. This is short lived since the ship quickly crashes into a big rock and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. There's also the remains of a ship somehow in a cave, early in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. |

Holes. is set at Camp Green Lake, which has been dry for more than a century. A small two-person rowboat can be found several miles from the camp.

The very beginning of the first stage of the first game of the Metal Slug franchise has the wreck of a submarine in what seems to be land with no sea on sight. Even more baffling is that additional materials identify the wreck as the remains of the Middle-Son 1999 type submarine. This submarine was an upgraded version of the old Middle-Son 1989 type submarine, the one that appears halfway through the final mission of the game, and disappeared mysteriously during a voyage. What happened to it and how it ended in the middle of a jungle is a riddle for the ages. One of the bosses in a later Metal Slug sequel is a submarine that inexplicably emerges from a desert. |

One is featured during a mission in Just Cause 2. It's a very large tanker in a desert that is very high above sea-level. No explanation is given; although the name of the place, Lautan Lama, means "formerly a sea" in Indonesian, the buildings and temples in the desert look much older than the ship. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons involves a pirate crew that somehow shipwrecked into a desert. Apparently, they beached themselves so hard that the front end of the ship punched through the ground and now sticks out in Subrosia. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword gives us the Sandship, which used to be a seafaring vessel until the seas dried out and filled with sand. At least, until you activate the Timeshift Stone on board, restoring both the ship and the ocean around it to their former glory. |

There's a brief shot in the Special Edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind which shows the wreck of the Cotopaxi, a ship that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, in the Gobi Desert. note The wreck site of the real Cotopaxi was identified in 2020, by the way. Strangely, it was off the coast of Florida, near where the ship disappeared, rather than in the middle of Mongolia. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword gives us the Sandship, which used to be a seafaring vessel until the seas dried out and filled with sand. At least, until you activate the Timeshift Stone on board, restoring both the ship and the ocean around it to their former glory. | |

At one point a ruined city is described, in the mountains thousands of miles inland. A 30-something-century old wizard recalls that this used to be a sea port before the Breaking. | |

The map "Ghost Town" from World of Tanks features two large, stranded tanker ships in the middle of a desert. Wily light tanks or brave tank destroyers can use these beached vessels as hard cover for an attack or to perform scouting missions. It is heavily implied that Ghost Town is located somewhere in the vicinity of the real-world Aral Sea as mentioned in the Real Life folder. A hidden Easter Egg includes a road sign which suggests the map is placed very near the real-world Ghost Town of Muynak, Uzbekistan. | |

The opening credits of Father Ted show a stranded ship, some way inland, ostensibly somewhere on Craggy Island, with no clue as to how it got there. The real ship, the MV Plassey, was washed ashore on Inisheer (off the West Coast) after a bit of what locals call "soft weather" in 1960... Indeed, it has moved again once or twice over the decades, when storms are heavy enough. | |

Digital Devil Saga has a cruise ship in a desert, there's no bodies of water in the Junkyard period, and only it started to rain during the game's events.

Not that this minor setback stops him—with a bit of help from the witch Tia Dalma, the Pearl is sailed overland until it reaches the spectral ocean at World's End. Occurs also in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with a Spanish ship on a cliff. In a jungle. To be fair, the actual coastline seems not too far away. |

In Lawrence of Arabia, Lawrence is dumbfounded to see a ship sailing through the Sinai desert. It's actually because he's reached the Suez Canal and it just takes him a minute to realize it.note The funny thing about this is that ancient versions of the Suez Canal have been constructed and reclaimed by the desert before, in ancient human history. If the Suez Canal of today were to be abandoned, it would eventually sand in. | |

In one of the most surreal scenes of Aguirre, the Wrath of God, an abandoned ship is found atop a tree in the middle of the jungle. The original script expanded this into an actual subplotnote The Amazon sometimes has drastic changes of water flow so it's actually not that far-fetched for a ship to end trapped in a tree but the final cut leaves it ambiguous and it might as well be a figment of the men's imagination, since they are all mad at that point. Since Aguirre is the ultimate River of Madness story, this is actually very fitting. | |

Early on in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Drake and Sully stumble upon an abandoned Nazi U-Boat stuck miles upriver in the middle of the jungle. Sully's explanation that it floated up there then got stuck isn't entirely implausible but still quite unlikely.note Which fits, because Uncharted runs on "plausible but unlikely." | |

As noted in Literature, the Dragonlance setting features quite a few of these due to changes in geography after the Cataclysm. | |

In the movie Fitzcarraldo (also from Werner Herzog, the director of Aguirre) the titular mad rubber baron moves a steamship through mountains and jungles in order to put it on an unreachable river. (In real life, he had the ship disassembled first.) The movie's prop ship was later abandoned in the Peruvian jungle after filming was completed, making it a Real Life version of the trope. | |

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors plays with this in an unusual way. During the first Nonary Game, an experiment designed to test and enhance the psychic abilities of children, the subjects were placed in two facilities - the Gigantic (a sister ship of the Titanic), and a construct known as 'Building Q' in the middle of the Nevada desert, which was an identical replica of the Gigantic on the inside. As the real Gigantic was being deliberately sunk during the experiment, Building Q artificially simulated the sinking with tanks that would raise the water level throughout the building. Nine years later during the second Nonary Game, the abducted partitipants believed themselves to all be in the Gigantic, only to learn in the finale that they were in the desert-located Building Q the entire time and were never in danger of the 'ship' sinking. | |

Happens in the original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga with the pirate ship in the middle of Teehee Valley. The brothers manage to get the ship moving again when the cork holding the water back is removed and the ship sails on the open seas once again. This is short lived since the ship quickly crashes into a big rock and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. | |

In the campaign of Age of Empires III, Amelia reaches the Lake of the Moon about 200 years after her ancestor, Morgan Black, and finds that it has been drained since. The bed is still littered by remains of galleons from the last battle between Morgan and the Circle, and the bad guys are mining them for gold. | |
