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 she was
built in China in 1935 and used in the Red Sea as a tug
boat. Its a classic "Donald Duck" wreck standing on her
keel with a listing towards starboard on a depth of 18
meter. Its believed that the ship sunk under a journey
from Suez to Massawa early in October 1943.
