Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Shaab Abu Nuhas – nicknamed “Tin Reef” – has been a notorious hazard for ships navigating the Red Sea. This treacherous reef was the final, yet most deadly, obstacle before reaching open waters.
The shipwrecks scattered across its slopes bear witness to its perilous history. Some of the most famous wrecks include:
SS Carnatic (September 1869)
Marcus (May 1978)
Kimon M (December 1978)
Chrisoula K (August 1981)
San Juan (January 1982)
One of the greatest mysteries of Shaab Abu Nuhas is the disappearance of the “Cargo Olden” – a massive 213-meter Panamanian freighter that sank in February 1987. Despite its size, the wreck has never been found, leaving only its anchor at 50 meters deep as a haunting reminder of the tragedy.
Today, Shaab Abu Nuhas is a world-class diving destination, attracting adventurers eager to explore its legendary wrecks. Whether you’re a history buff or a diving enthusiast, this underwater graveyard offers a fascinating glimpse into maritime history.
