I don't think she's sunk. She's just thrown some dead cattle in the water. Her name is "Badr 3" as far as I remember.

It's 33 sheep - out of 120,000. NAM News Network

We were diving Gordon Reef on Wednesday 22nd Sept. There was a swollen floating dead sheep on the edge of the reef as we jumped in. The jokes went out that it would attract sharks, however soon after descending we were pleased to be greeted by a large White Tip Reef Shark that was obviously there for a free feed.
This article clearly states that the ship sunk and all cattle died! I guess if they were in compartments on the ship they would still be in it and maybe only few loose ones floated to the surface. Of course the whole article could be false, it wouldn't be the first time.

The article first states that the ship has sunk and all sheep have died in the Red Sea. Then it says that the ship has left from Aqaba (Jordan) to Jeddah (KSA) in the morning of September 22nd and to the Indian Ocean afterward.
We have a witness here. He has already spotted a dead sheep in Tiran on September 22nd.

The ship's itinerary doesn't match the dates and circumstances! If dead sheep were spotted in Tiran on September 22nd, how come she was still in Jordan leaving to KSA?
