Queen was a Ro-Ro ferry laid down by Camell Laird &
Company in Birkenhead, and was launched in 1967 for
the Irish company Belfast Steamship Company. She
changed both name and owners several times before she
sailed for Al Kafhain with Panama as registry of port and
the name Al Kafhain. Under a journey from Hurghada to
Jeddah she caught fire in the engine room and had to be
abandoned outside Giftum Island 22. November 2005. The
burned out hulk was taken under tow but capsized and hit
ground soon after. The wreck rest today upside down
on a depth of 8 to 24 meter on the north side of Shab
Sheer southeast of Port Safaga.
