Yes, indeed.
This mountain in Turkey near the border with Iran is thought by many to be the spot where Noah's Ark came to rest.
If you believe in that sort of thing...

The Mojave Spaceport, also known as the Mojave Airport and Civilian Aerospace Test Center, is the first facility to be licensed in the United States for horizontal launches of reusable spacecraft.
The Mojave Airport is also known as a storage location for commercial airliners. Numerous large Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, and Airbus aircraft owned by major airlines are stored at Mojave.

I'm sailing away, set an open course, to the port of Sydney.

Good work!
Is it in fact the Sydney Opera House, which many people say was designed to resemble the billowing sails of old ships.

Thanks. That's what gave it away for me, actually. I saw the opera house and I realized that's what it would probably look like from above.

However, that is changing with the internet, though there are virtually no computers there.
