20/06/2001, Port Said, Egypt.

"Beauty can pierce one like a pain." - Thomas Mann.

The Arabic name is 'ASWAN' ( أسوان ).
It is/was a grain offloading vessel in the port.

A shortened & converted vessel, made, predominantly, but (it is believed) not totally, from the wreckage of the former pilgrim ship 'Mecca'.

The 'Mecca' was scuttled in the Suez Canal on 07/06/1967, after a collision, which occurred immediately before the Six Day War between Egypt and Israel commenced.

In the Suez Canal clearance of 1974, the 584-foot-long wreck was cut into 10 x 50-foot slices by precision detonations, each of which was then lifted clear.

Normally assumed to have been scrapped, it is believed that some of those sections were reused, although the stern section looks to have been from another ship.

The supporting evidence for this is found in the following information provided by Phil English.
'Design modification of the Pilgrim Ship, 'Aswan', which was damaged and flooded during 1973 War (*Edit by me - 1967?) War, originally intended to bear ten grain evacuating units (edit: large vacuum machines) machines for unloading bulk carriers importing grain, with a belt conveyor system to feed the storage building adjacent to it in the port.
Additionally, the ship was to be used as an office and labour accommodation.'

Subsequently: the vessel appears to have been removed from it's berth at Port Said, and one can only wonder if it still exists now.

Could this be the remains of the hull in Port Said? See:
