Was the sunken ship in Finding Dory based on a real sunken ship?
Based on the location (somewhere around California) and the cargo that we see (VW Bug, lots of kitchen utensils the crustaceans are hiding in, and soda cans that look like Coca-Cola) is there enough evidence to show that the cargo ship is based on a real ship that went down?
Best Answer
From my poking around at ship wreck logs there have been a few cargo ships that went down near the California coast. That being said the distance from morro bay and the cargo doesn't put one as the culprit.
