Catalina Seaplane Wreckage - The wreckage of a PBY-5A Catalina, an American military seaplane from the 1930s. It has laid on the beach since 22nd March 1960, when the retired American businessman Thomas Kendall landed in the water near the Ras Al-Sheikh Hameed,Saudi Arabia for a stopover during this trip around the world with his children and his secretary. They spent the night there but the next afternoon they were attacked with machine guns and automatic firearms by Bedouins who believed it was an actual military attack! Mr Kendall tried to start the Catalina but only succeeded to move it over about a kilometer where it ran aground on a coral reef. Catalina which was abandoned on the beach for many years has now become an important touristic spot.
