Taiyong
C486B was a Jordanian crane barge, bought by the Aqaba
port authority in 1974 and used as a platform for off
loading cargo from ships arriving Aqaba harbor. Her origin
and history is not known, but some claims she was used as
a cable layer before she was assigned to harbor duty. An
accident where the crane severely damaged her hull made
her unworthy of repairs and further service in the late
1990's. Due to her severe damages she was deliberately
rigged down and scuttled 31. December 1999. The wreck rest
today on her starboard side outside the Japanese Gardens
in Aqaba city on a depth of 35 to 56 meter.
