The fact is geological structures that resembles the outline of a boat is very common. Tight upward folding of rock strata, called anticline, that contain layers with different erosional resistance will at some stage of subsequent erosional process present a boat like appearance from the air. You can easily find numerous such “Noah’s ark wrecks” where ever there had been been extensive folding of rocks during past mountain building events, and where erosion now predominates. These are ubiquitous in the Appalachians, which saw several episodes of major mountain building before the age of dinosaurs and where erosion has since dominated. They are also not hard to find in Wyoming or Utah, where the main event that built the Rockies ended around 50 million years ago and erosion now also rule.
Similar boat like features can also arise from other geological processes, such as salt dome formation. Wherever there had been an sea which subsequent dried up and become covered over by sediments can present boat like appearance during subsequent erosions.
