The
Blue Bell sailed from Jeddah for Port Sudan on December 1st,
1977 with a cargo of Japanese cars.
The
next day the ship struck Sha'b Suadi Reef. Thankfully the crew
were safely rescued but The Blue Bell was not and on December
5th, 1977 she slipped off the reef and sank along with her cargo.
It
is believed that the ship crashed because of a navigational
error in poor visibility.
