And here is another shipwreck, this time in Mauritania. Looks like a cargo ship washed ashore.
[Edit] The name of the ship is United Malika, with gross tonnage 4239 tonnes. Built in Japan in 1979, it is a 387.8 reefer that ran aground in Mauritania.

Actually, at one time there were hundreds of shipwrecks in Mauritania, left by irresponsible companies dealing with corrupt government officials. The new government has been making a great effort to get them cleaned up. Many have been sold off for salvage and are being torn down, piece by piece.
There may be a few left, but you’d have to check with a local guide. We saw at least half a dozen of them in one area in December of 2018.
Has since been salvaged.
