SS Kingston

The Kingston is one of the oldest shipwrecks in the Red Sea. It sank in 1881 near Shaab Abu Nuhas reef while en route from London to Aden, carrying a cargo of coal. After striking the reef, the vessel was quickly claimed by the sea, leaving behind a remarkably preserved hull that has since become a thriving marine habitat.
Resting at a depth of 3-20 meters, Kingston is easily accessible to divers. The remains of the ship, now adorned with soft corals, create a mesmerizing sight, and its propeller, still intact, makes for an iconic underwater photo opportunity. Schools of fusiliers, snappers, and barracuda frequently patrol the wreck, while eagle rays, dolphins and turtles occasionally pass by. Kingston is a perfect blend of history and marine beauty, offering divers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
