Gavin Menzies, author of the controversial
1421 - The Year China Discovered The World, thinks that the legendary
Mahogany Ship of Australia might have been
Chinese instead of Portuguese.
I had never heard of the Mahogany Ship before, but the story reminds me a little of the
Lost Ships of the Mojave, Spanish galleons trapped in the desert by the retreating Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California.
