Where
SS Carnatic
A P&O mail steamer lost on Abu Nuhas in 1869, and the oldest wreck dived in this log by nearly forty years — her wooden decks long gone, leaving the iron ribs standing like a cathedral.

Very cool wreck that is already heavily overgrown. The boiler lies in the middle and, sunk a little way down, I saw one of the engine's pistons. Inside it looked gorgeous because of the light falling in through the windows. It was also completely full of glassfish here.
