The depths of the Red Sea hold more mysteries than one might imagine. Among them lies the intriguing story of the “Russian Wreck,” a vessel with a mysterious past, buried beneath the waves. This shipwreck, also known as the Khanka, has captured the imagination of divers and maritime history enthusiasts. It’s a story that unfolds like a Cold War thriller, making it an ideal destination for adventurous scuba divers eager to explore both history and the deep blue sea.

A Spy Ship’s Hidden Past

Little is known about the Khanka, a Russian spy ship that ventured far from home. The ship was a modified 861-class survey/buoy tender, bearing the distinctive “SSV” designation, which identified it as a communications vessel. These ships were known for their roles in electronic signal intelligence gathering and surveillance during the height of the Cold War.

In those tense years, Russia relied on these unassuming commercial vessels to conduct covert operations, often retrofitting them to carry SIGINT and ELINT equipment, allowing them to discreetly collect intelligence from international waters. The Khanka, however, remains an enigma, with no official records confirming its existence within the MOMA class.

Cold War Russian ELINT History

The backdrop to this intriguing shipwreck is the early Cold War era, when Russia lacked an extensive network of overseas listening posts. To overcome this limitation, they employed commercial ships, particularly fishing trawlers, to conduct covert surveillance of foreign governments. These versatile vessels were affordable to operate and maintain and could be easily modified to carry hidden surveillance equipment.

As Russia evolved its “spy ships,” it began constructing purpose-built ELINT platforms, marking a significant development in the world of espionage and maritime history.

The Khanka’s Presence in the Red Sea

The Khanka’s final resting place is 24 meters below the surface in the western bay of Zabargad Island. Its presence in the southern Red Sea may seem perplexing at first, but it holds significant geopolitical relevance. In 1971, the Russians established a surveillance facility on Socotra Island, which provided access to strategic locations at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. This placement allowed them to monitor marine traffic, both commercial and military, entering and leaving the Red Sea, giving them a strategic upper hand during the Cold War.

Diving into History

The Khanka’s wreck is a fascinating destination for scuba divers. It lies in the clear waters of the Red Sea, and the mast just breaks the surface during low tide, providing an excellent reference point for divers. The ship seems to have collided head-on with the reef, causing the bow and forward hold to separate and rest on its port side. The rest of the ship remains upright, facing the reef.

Divers can explore the pilothouse and engine room, and for the adventurous, the ship’s holds may be accessible, offering a glimpse into the potential “spy” equipment that may have been onboard. The wreck still boasts many deck fittings, hatches, and some handrails, providing a vivid snapshot of the ship’s past.

However, divers should be prepared for the underwater currents that can affect visibility at the site. The excitement of discovering this historical relic is well worth the potential challenges.

The Red Sea’s “Russian Wreck” is not just a diving destination; it’s a portal into the covert world of Cold War espionage. As you explore its submerged remains, you can’t help but wonder about the secrets it carried and the stories it could tell if only its rusted hull could speak. The Khanka is a testament to the hidden history that still lies beneath the waves, waiting for intrepid explorers to uncover its mysteries.

The Carnatic was as a 1,776 GRT steam-powered wood-on-iron constructed Clipper Ship built at Samuda Brothers, Cubitt Town, Isle of Dogs, Poplar, UK for the Penninsula & Orient S.N. Co., London (later to be known at the P & O Line). When her keel was laid in early 1862, she was originally to be named Mysore. However, when she was launched 12 June 1862 she was renamed the Carnatic. Completed 25 April 1863, she was 89.4 meters in length, 11.6 meters in beam, and 7.8 meters in draught. The ship was outfitted with square-rigged sails typical of clipper ships of the era, and also had a 4-cylinder compound inverted steam engine from Humphry’s and Tennant, London, which provided 2,442 Hp to a single shaft and a 3-blade propeller.

On 27 June 1863 she sailed for Calcutta where she assigned service on the Suez-Bombay- and China route. The Suez canal would not be completed until September 1869, so at that time Suez was a seaport where ship’s cargoes and passengers were embarked or were delivered too.

In 1867, Captain Philip Buton Jones took command of the ship, and by all accounts was considered a “seaman of the ablest means”.

At 1000 on the morning of 12 September 1869, the Carnatic departed Suez for Bombay with 34 passengers, 176 crew, and a cargo consisting of copper sheeting, bales of cotton, Royal Mail, and 40,000 GBP in specie which was destined for the mint in India.

As the ship headed south, Captain Jones remained on the bridge to personally oversee the ship’s navigation through the narrow passages and hazards of the Gulf of Suez. Maintaining a speed of 11 knots, the ship continued south throughout the day, with day turning to clear evening when the Ashrafi Light was sighted at 2340. However, no bearing on the light was taken. As the watch team changed at midnight, the Ashrafi Light was well astern of the ship. At 0100 13 September, the Second Officer became aware that Shadwan Island lie dead ahead. Captain Jones ordered a new course which he believed would allow the ship to clear the Island. However, at 0118 waves were sighted off the starboard bow indicating a reef. The helm was put hard over to starboard and engines to full back, but to no avail…..

The ship hit the reef of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas and was hard aground. Captain Jones then conducted a thorough inspection of the ship and determined that the pumps could handle the water that the ship was taking on. As there was no apparent danger to the passengers or crew he ordered that everyone was to remain onboard.

At dawn, Captain Jones realized that the ship was hard aground and ordered some of the cargo of cotton bales thrown overboard to lighten the ship in an attempt to refloat her on the changing tide. This, however, proved unsuccessful. Some passengers requested to disembark and make for Shadwan Island, a request which Capt. Jones refused as he was expecting the S.S. Sumatra to pass near the Carnatic’s position, inbound for Suez, in the near future. And although the ship was taking on water, the pumps were controlling the flooding, the ship had power and appeared to still be sound.

As the day wore on there was no sign of any passing ships, so Capt. Jones decided that all passengers and crew would spend another night onboard the ship, although some passengers again requested to disembark for Shadwan Island.

As the ship sat on the reef, it had been swinging from side-to-side with the waves, which unbeknownst to captain or crew, was slowly weakening the ship’s keel. At 0200 on 14 September the water level in the engine room reached the ship’s boilers which resulted in the ship losing all power (and loss of the pumps as well!).

At daybreak, with the ship flooding uncontrollably, Capt. Jones gave the order to abandon ship with women and children being ordered the first to depart the ship. The first of the women and children had just been put into a lifeboat when the ship suddenly broke in half. The after section of the ship immediately went to the bottom resulting in the loss of 5 of the passengers and 26 crew. The forward section of the ship rolled over onto its port side taking the remainder of the passengers and crew with it.

The passengers and crew in the water struggled for their lives and many managed to make it to the top of the reef.

The survivors managed to make it to Shadwan Island in the remaining lifeboats, arriving on the island at sunset. A signal fire was started atop the island which was later sighted by the passing S.S. Sumatra who rescued the survivors. 31 people lost their lives in the sinking of the ship.

Captain Jones was ordered to England to stand before a formal Board of Enquiry where it was determined that the grounding of the Carnatic was the result of negligence on the captain’s part. Captain Jones’ Master ticket was suspended for nine months. However, Captain Jones never went to sea again…..

The Carnatic’s cargo was salvaged in the weeks following the sinking where 40,000 GBP of cargo and specie were recovered.

Diving Information

The Carnatic lies at the base, and parallel to, the Sha’ab Abu Nuhas reef at a depth of 18-27 meters. When the ship sank, she had broken into two sections. When the ship settled on the bottom, the two halves settled nearly back together! The wreck is lying on its port side with the bow of the ship is pointing to the east and stern pointing to the west. The fore and aft sections are nearly complete, separated by the section of the ship where it broke in two. The wooden deck and hull have long since deteriorated and disappeared, leaving only the iron structural ribs and frames. This makes for an easy penetration into the ship down to what was the second deck. At the bow one can see where the bowsprit and figurehead were once mounted. At the stern, window ports still remain and one can penetrate the ship down two deck levels. Beneath the stern lies the rudder and the three-bladed propeller which make for some beautiful pictures! The entire wreck is populated with soft corals, glass fish, crocodile fish, lion fish, and the occasional blue-spotted stingray. Diving the wreck can pretty much only be done in good weather and by being dropped off by Zodiac. A very nice dive adventure!

In a recent incident on the night of Saturday, October 28th, Emperor Echo, was moored at Fury Shoals when a sudden and intense lightning storm, accompanied by powerful winds, led to an unfortunate event. The vessel became entangled with its mooring and was subsequently blown onto the reef, resulting in significant, irreparable damage to the ship’s hull.

Emperor Divers would like to express their profound gratitude to their dedicated and highly efficient crew, who, in collaboration with the guests on board, promptly and seamlessly executed evacuation protocols, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone on board.

We are pleased to report that all passengers and crew members are now safely ashore.

The Chrisoula K began life as the 3,720 or 3,807 GRT Cargo Ship Dora Oldendorff built at Orenstein, Koppel and Luebekker, Lübeck, Germany for Egon Oldendorff’s growing post-WWII fleet. Launched 16 December 1953 and completed early in 1954, she was 98 meters in length, 14.8 meters in beam, 9 meters in draught, with a single 2,700 bhp 9-cylinder diesel engine from Masch, Augsburg-Nuermbuer (MAN), Augsburg, Germany, connected to a single shaft for a maximum speed of 13.5 knots.

The Dora Oldendorff was sold in 1970 (Company Unknown) and was renamed the Anna B. She was sold again in 1979 to the Clarion Marine Company, Piraeus, Cyprus, and renamed the Chrisoula K.

Loss of the Chrisoula K

In late August 1981, the Chrisoula K got underway from Italy with a cargo of floor tiles destined for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The ship, under the command of Captain Kanellis, made safe passage across the Mediterranean Sea, transit through the Suez Canal, and navigated through the narrow confines of the Straits of Suez. One source states that Captain Kanellis was on the bridge for the entire passage from Italy up to this point and then turned the helm over to another officer in order to retire for some well-earned rest. True or not, the ship continued on its passage south, steaming at full speed, when it struck the northeast corner of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas at position 27°34’50″N; 33°55’30.

There was apparently enough damage to the hull of the ship that it was considered a total constructive loss (See Lloyd’s List entry for 01 September 1981). The 21-man crew was picked up by the Egyptian Navy based at Hurghada and delivered to Suez shortly afterwards. The ship soon began to take on water and, with her bow firmly embedded in the reef, began to sink by the stern. Eventually she settled on the bottom at the base of the reef in 20-30 meters of water.

Diving the Chrisoula K

The bow of the ship, also known as the “Tile Wreck“, used to be clearly visible on top of the Sha’ab Abu Nuhas Reef. However, due to years of wave action and exposure to the elements, there isn’t much left of this part of the ship to see above the water (in fact, practically nothing!).

One need’s calm seas in order to get to the wrecksite. The main part of the ship lies in a fairly upright position at the bottom of the reef, while the stern has keeled over almost completely onto its starboard side. Penetration into the engine room located in the stern section is possible, but a bit disorienting due to the ship’s stern being on its side. There is much to see in the engineering compartments as the ship was not salvaged. Flashligts, flashlights, and more flashlights are recommended. Silt-out conditions are also another consideration here….watch your finning!

Back outside of the wreck, the rudder and propeller are still in place at 26-28 meters. Going shallow along the port side of the ship’s hull there is a gap between hull plates which allows access into the ship’s holds where the cargo of tile still remains. All-in-all, this is another one of those wrecks that makes the Red Sea such a unique diving destination.

In the azure waters of the Northern Red Sea, an enigmatic relic from a bygone era lies silently on the seabed—a Soviet-era T-43 class minesweeper known as the El Minya. Her story is one of international diplomacy, aerial warfare, and the mysteries of underwater exploration.

A Soviet Gem in Egyptian Waters

The EL Minya, also referred to as El Mina, El Minia, El Miniya, or El Miniaya, had its humble beginnings as a product of Soviet shipyards in the late 1940s. The T-43 class minesweeper, originally designed in the UK, found its way to the USSR and was built at shipyards in Leningrad, Kerch, Poland, and even under license in China. Of the 178 ships in this class, Egypt became the recipient of seven, including the EL Minya.

President Nasser’s diplomacy was instrumental in securing these vessels, which arrived on the shores of Egypt in the spring of 1956 as part of a $120 million arms treaty. Curiously, the T-43 class minesweeper’s origins traced back to the UK, showcasing the complexities of the global arms trade.

A Naval Tribute to Egypt

The four T-43 ocean-going minesweepers delivered in 1956 were named after Egyptian cities—Assiout, Bahaira, Gharbia, and the hometown of President Nasser himself, El Minya. Unfortunately, the El Minya’s fate was sealed in the midst of a turbulent political climate.

A Fateful Day in 1970

On the fateful day of February 6, 1970, the peaceful waters of Hurghada in the Northern Red Sea bore witness to a harrowing aerial attack. Four to six Israeli aircraft, likely Phantom F-4 A or Mirage III jets, approached Hurghada under the shroud of low altitude to evade radar detection. Their mission: to neutralize a radar station near the airfield. Anchored at the naval base, El Minya unwittingly became a part of this high-stakes drama.

El Minya’s anti-aircraft guns posed a threat to the low-flying Israeli aircraft and made her a prestigious target. During the attack, a small bomb struck the starboard side of the minesweeper, causing it to roll over. The ship, though still afloat (some accounts suggest it sank and resurfaced), was subjected to another round of attacks by the Israeli aircraft, with machine gun fire targeting the underside of the hull. Ultimately, the El Minya succumbed to the depths of the Red Sea, leaving an anchor chain on the seabed as a haunting reminder of her tragic end.

The Political Backdrop

The events leading to the El Minya’s demise were shaped by the political turmoil of the era. In the early 1970s, Egypt and Israel were embroiled in tensions stemming from Egypt’s desire to regain the Sinai Peninsula, lost during the Six-Day War of 1967. These hostilities culminated in the Yom Kippur War of 1973.

Exploring the Wreck

Today, the sunken El Minya serves as a compelling underwater site for divers seeking to explore history beneath the waves. Divers often begin their journey at the stern of the wreck, where the ship lays on its port side, leaning against the superstructure. This vantage point offers a view of the ship’s two propeller screws and rudders, leading to the south side over the stern deck. Here, massive rolls of cable used for towing torpedo-like mine sweeping devices are still visible.

As divers progress towards the superstructure, they encounter remnants of the ship’s anti-aircraft guns and machine guns. The mast, torn off during the ship’s descent, can now be found to the north of the wreck.

The bow area presents a treasure trove of historical artifacts, including the mount for the second anti-aircraft gun. Nearby, the port side anchor chain traces the path that El Minya took during her desperate attempt to evade the Israeli attack. The starboard anchor remains in place, adjacent to the blast hole where the bomb struck, providing an intriguing swim-through opportunity.

Divers should exercise caution due to sharp edges and objects scattered across the seabed. The wreck also retains some live ammunition, a stark reminder of its wartime past. With a torch, divers can illuminate the interior, revealing the vivid colors of marine life that have found refuge within the ship’s hull.

A Dive for the Experienced

Exploring the El Minya is not without its challenges. The dive site, located east of Hurghada Naval Base, features depths reaching a maximum of 32 meters at the stern, 26 meters at the bow, and 19 meters around the blast hole atop the wreck. The site occasionally experiences poor visibility and strong currents, making it best suited for experienced divers. Care must be taken to avoid sharp edges, and divers should remain vigilant, as boats frequently visit the site.

Despite these challenges, the El Minya offers a unique opportunity to dive into history, explore a sunken relic of conflict, and witness the resilience of marine life in the depths of the Red Sea. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of a bygone era, forever preserved beneath the waves.

A Sunken Legacy of Gulf Marine Exploration

In the heart of the Gulf of Mexico, where offshore supply vessels are the unsung heroes of the oil industry, a remarkable vessel known as Gulf Fleet No. 31 emerged from the shipyards of Houma, Louisiana in 1978. This formidable offshore supply vessel, with its striking statistics and an enigmatic history, has left a lasting mark on the maritime world.

Setting Sail

With a history deeply intertwined with the bustling maritime industry, Gulf Fleet No. 31 was born in the renowned Quality Equipment Co. shipyard. At 294 Gross Registered Tons (GRT), this vessel was a product of ingenuity, designed to cater to the demanding needs of the Gulf Fleet Marine Company, headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana. As she gracefully kissed the water for the first time in 1978, Gulf Fleet No. 31 boasted impressive dimensions: a length of 54.9 meters, a beam of 11.6 meters, and a draft of 4.18 meters. Her twin diesels and powerful shafts allowed her to slice through the waves at a brisk 12 knots.

The Ownership Mystery

There’s a whisper of uncertainty surrounding the vessel’s ownership. Some sources suggest that Gulf Fleet No. 31 was under the command of the Zapata Gulf Marine Company, rather than the Gulf Fleet Marine. However, a closer look reveals that this mystery may simply be a misunderstanding. The vessel’s name, Gulf Fleet, and the shipyard where she was meticulously crafted, Quality Shipyard, both belonged to Tidewater Inc., headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tidewater Inc. has been a steadfast pillar of Quality Shipyard, cementing its status as the true owner of Gulf Fleet No. 31.

The Gulf Fleet No. 31 Legacy

Gulf Fleet Marine, whether through acquisition or construction, added a fleet of 77 vessels between 1971 and 1984, all bearing the title “Gulf Fleet No.” followed by a sequential number. This impressive collection of maritime workhorses was instrumental in supporting offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

The vessel’s design, still prevalent in modern offshore supply vessels, is attributed to the visionary Mr. Alden J. ‘Doc’ Laborde, then the president of Ocean Drilling and Exploration Corporation (ODECO) in the late 1940s. Recognizing the need for purpose-built support vessels, Laborde and nine like-minded investors laid the foundation for Tidewater Marine Service Corporation in July 1954. This design, characterized by a forward pilothouse and accommodations and a flat work area at the rear, has stood the test of time as the optimal configuration for supplying offshore work sites.

The Zapata Connection

Notably, the Zapata Corporation, founded by the esteemed former U.S. President George Bush Sr. in 1953, once held the reins of Zapata Gulf Marine until its acquisition by Tidewater Inc. in 1993, marking a significant moment in maritime history.

The Mysterious Demise

Intrigue shrouds the loss of Gulf Fleet No. 31. While the Miramar Index suggests the ship’s disappearance occurred in September of 1985, there’s been ongoing debate since the vessel was rediscovered in 1995. It is now believed that the ship struck the northeast tip of Shaabruhr Umm Qammar, leading the crew to abandon ship. Gulf Fleet No. 31 remained precariously perched on the reef for a few weeks before sliding into its final resting place. Remarkably, no lives were lost during the grounding or subsequent sinking.

Diving Into History

For technical divers with a thirst for adventure, Gulf Fleet No. 31 offers a unique challenge in the depths of the Red Sea. This incredible wreck, sitting upright on a rocky outcrop near the northeast tip of Sha’abruhr Umm Qammar Reef, beckons exploration. With a maximum depth of 108 meters, divers can spot the stern at 105 meters, complete with rudders and propellers. Further up, at 95 meters, lies the opportunity for penetration, providing access to the pilothouse. Towards the aft, two cargo containers, likely the crew’s sleeping quarters, await at 86 meters. Don’t forget to check out the cranes on the open work deck. The aquatic life is flourishing, boasting soft corals, fusiliers, and a variety of other fish.

Ascending along the reef wall for decompression stops, divers may opt to drift in the southern current for a glimpse of the Colona IV at the deepest deco stop around 64-66 meters. However, this exhilarating dive, like all technical dives, demands meticulous planning and robust surface support.

Gulf Fleet No. 31 is a vessel whose legacy continues to intrigue, both in the annals of maritime history and as a unique diving opportunity for those seeking to uncover its enigmatic past.

In the annals of maritime history, the Dunraven remains a captivating tale of adventure and misfortune. This cargo ship, officially designated as an “Iron Screw Steamer-Planked,” embarked on its maiden voyage in the late 19th century. Built with precision and care at the Charles Mitchell and Co. Iron Ship Builders in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, the Dunraven was destined to etch its name into the lore of the Red Sea.

Setting Sail in Grandeur

Launched on December 14, 1872, and completed the following year, the Dunraven stood as a formidable vessel, measuring 79.6 meters in length, 9.8 meters in beam, and 7.3 meters in draught. Its unique propulsion combined square-rigged sails on fore and aft masts with a state-of-the-art 140 PSI 2-cylinder compound inverted engine, crafted at Humphreys and Tennant in Newcastle. Steam, generated by two coal-fired boilers, propelled the ship to an impressive speed of 8 knots. The ship’s crew complement of 25 suggests it was primarily steam-operated, with sails serving as auxiliary propulsion.

Voyages of the Dunraven

The Dunraven embarked on numerous journeys, but it is the final one that left an indelible mark on its history. On April 6, 1876, under the command of Captain Edward Richards Care, it departed Bombay, India, laden with a “valuable general cargo” bound for Liverpool. The ship glided smoothly through the Indian Ocean, making a stop in Aden to replenish its coal reserves.

However, fate had other plans. In the early hours of April 25, 1876, while navigating the Red Sea, the ship’s Second Mate sighted land and a light ahead. Though the Captain was alerted, a sequence of events unfolded that would seal the Dunraven’s fate. Land was sighted too late, and despite desperate efforts, the ship struck a reef, rapidly taking on water. Abandoning ship became the only option.

By noon, the Dunraven was submerged in the Red Sea’s depths, marking the end of a once-proud vessel. Captain Care faced a Board of Enquiry, and negligence was attributed to him, resulting in the revocation of his Master certificate for a year.

A Diver’s Paradise

Today, the Dunraven rests almost completely upside-down on her port side, a mesmerizing sight for divers. Located near Beacon Rock in 15-30 meters of water, this shipwreck offers a unique underwater experience. The bow faces northeast, while the stern reaches the greatest depths. Diving conditions vary, with visibility ranging from 10 to 30 meters, and a North-South current is often present.

Exploring the Dunraven, divers can witness the ship’s fragmented forward section, with entry/exit points for penetration at various depths. Amidships, the wreckage reveals the engine room, boilers, piping, valves, and the ship’s main engine and shaft. The stern boasts a captivating view of the rudder and a partially intact propeller, missing just one blade. A remnant of one of the ship’s masts still graces the seabed, a poignant reminder of the Dunraven’s storied past.

While the Dunraven may not attract the same crowds as the famous Thistlegorm, its submerged history offers a rewarding and challenging dive, making it a hidden gem in the Red Sea’s depths. To explore its secrets, remember to choose a calm day and carry a couple of flashlights to illuminate your underwater journey.

For adventurers seeking a voyage back in time, the Dunraven awaits, inviting divers to uncover its mysteries and relive the final chapter of a remarkable maritime tale.

Following the tragic fire involving Hurricane Liveaboard in the Egyptian Red Sea yesterday, we are sad to report that the three missing divers have been pronounced dead.

According the the Daily Star, a statement made by Scuba Travel, who chartered the vessel for this trip reads as follows:

“It is with great regret that we, as Tour Operator, with heavy hearts, must accept that three of our much-valued dive guests, who had not participated in the dive briefing, early on the morning of June 11, perished in the tragic incident. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to their families and friends at this very sad time.”

“At the time the fire broke out 12 divers were participating in a briefing on board, while those missing had apparently decided not to dive that morning. The severity of the fire meant that the 12 divers were immediately evacuated by rib to another craft nearby and the 14 crew members, including the Captain and two dive guides, having tried to reach the missing guests, also had to abandon ship and were rescued by rib.”

Our thoughts are with the families of those affected at this time.

Following on from our earlier report on the fire which broke out onboard Hurricane Liveaboard in the Egyptian Red Sea, BBC News are reporting that 3 British Tourists are currently missing.

Initial reports suggest the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the engine room but authorities are still investigating the situation.

The boat which was due to return to port on Sunday was carrying 15 British passengers, along with 10 crew, according to local Egyptian authorities.

We will again update when more information is available locally.

We are receiving a number of reports, along with seeing social media posts that Hurricane Liveaboard, which is part of the Tornado Marine Fleet has caught fire whilst on safari at Elphinstone Reef in the Egyptian Red Sea.

We don’t currently know the status of the passengers onboard but will update as soon as more information is available.
