This illusion appears somwhere at cost shore of Cuba. For asignment, try to find it using Google Maps and post the original link in comments. I love it!

That's pretty easy, the Lat/Long is right in the picture. Here's a Google Maps link:
Nice locating it Pythor
Really nice really nice
They zoomed it so we cant tell the deiffrence
it's not that great...
woah
what are the coordinates?
what r the coordinates
What r the coordinates? Respond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i clicked on the link that pythor gave us, but there's no picture!
I used the coordinates on google world, and nothing's there....
most of the google stuff is updated time to time and the ship is no longer there....
...silly people...Okay, google earth (or googlemaps, whatever) uses satelites to take different small pictures of an area and then blur them together to make the big picture that you see. Obviously half of the boat was captured in one picture, and in the picture next to it, it had cruised away by then...
This can also be seen by the different shades in water. The sattelite moved to take the next picture and the sun reflected off of the water at a different angle.
yea, i followd pythor's link. i didnt dee anything, but if u go to thre right a bit, u will notice a small white dot. Zoom into it. Look like a squid thingy 2 u ?
woah. its not there anymore. srry ppls
Google Earth is getting become more popular and very interseting now
23.153186N 82.446883W
right off of the coast of habana.
it's cool lookin' but how do you know the ship isn't just sinking??
To go along with the same idea, here is one of the dissapearing bridge. This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in Virginia. If you zoom in far enough, the bridge seems to just fade away...
Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
I don't understand wut this is about...I looked at the link, but the ship wasn't there...is it just in the coordinates? Is it fake? I'm so stupid.
i went to the link that spinner left and if i'm looking in the right place, the bridge just disappears because it becomes a tunnel, hence the name "chesapeake bay bridge-TUNNEL" thats what i think unless he was referring to the east end of it, it looks wierd over there, but certainly doesn't disappear.
ok to go along with what spinner said, ive been throught that tunnel and yes its a tunnel soidk what your talking about but there is no dissapearence i see
