The
tugboat Tien Hsing, commonly misnamed and known as
"Tienstin", disappeared in the deep at Abu Galawa Kibeer,
or better known under the English name Fury Shoal, north
of Ras Banas in Egypt. Detailed history of this small
tugboat seems almost impossible to provide, but we
gathered some traces from historical documents. She was
built in China in 1935 and extensively used in the Red Sea
as a tug boat.She a classic Donald Duck wreck, standing on
her keel with a listing towards starboard on a depth of
approximately 18 meter. Its believed that the ship sunk
under a journey from Suez to Massawa early in October
1943.
