What Wikipedia says

MV Salem Express was an Egyptian-French passenger ship that sank in the Red Sea. It is notable due to the heavy loss of life which occurred when she sank shortly after striking a reef at around 11:13pm on December 14, 1991. The majority of passengers were Moroccan-French. Most were returning from pilgrimage to Mecca.
