The ship was loaded with gold, copper, wine and cotton, and the Bedouins, the indigenous people of the region, were able to salvage the cargo in the weeks following its sinking, so they were able to recover £ 40,000 worth of goods, and divers usually prefer to head to the wreck site, to enjoy seeing it full of coral Delicates, glass fish, crocodile fish, and lionfish.
