Well sorta. 
I thought a few of you might find this interesting as well. For many years I have heard about a huge ship that was ran up a creek during the 1937 Ohio river flood. The water receded and the ship was grounded in just a few feet of water. I saw a crude old photo, so it appeared to be a true story. Nobody knew anything else about it.
Thanks to the internet I finally found it. It turned out to be a ship that was 186' long built in 1902. Originally called the Celt, it was owned by a well off rail road executive. This ship was used by Thomas Edison & traveled to the Florida Keys & later appearing briefly in Madonna's video Pappa Don't Preach. Sold for only $7500 in 1986, the last owner piloted it from New York Harbor to it's finally resting place, a creek near Cincinnati. Grounded and rusted, it actually exists.
The glorious past of 112-year-old 'ghost ship' abandoned on Ohio River
