The S.S.Numidia was built as a steam cargo ship in Glasgow in 1901. On her second voyage departing Liverpool , bound for Calcutta in 1901, disaster struck when she hit the Big Brothers island in the Red Sea. No lives were lost but the ship sunk quickly . The shipwreck now lies perpendicular to the reef with the bow lying at around 8-meters, with the rest of the ship descending at a steep angle to a depth of approximately 80-meters. Due to the constant water currents here, the wreck is engulfed by soft and hard corals of vibrant colours.
