About 13 km north of the western harbour of Alexandria, lie the wrecks of the HMS Attack and the SS Aragon. The SS Aragon was an Allies troopship heading to Alexandria’s harbour from Marseille, France, with 2700 troops onboard, in 1917. It was torpedoed by a UC34 German submarine while entering the harbour. 610 marines died. Short after the accident, the HMS Attack destroyer came to the rescue of the ship but was sank as well, almost blown up in half. They both lie in the Mediterranean seabed today waiting for divers to explore them.
Specialized wreck diving safaris departing from Alexandria cover this site on their program.
