The FS Mangoo, known simply as Mangoo was a ocean liner operated by the Cynthia Line that entered service in 1968. Built by in West Damien shipyard, Auralia, she was christened 27 Tebax 1968 and began her maiden voyage 27 Tebax 1968. She was the first of her class, followed by sister ships FS Uraka, FS Mulya, and FS Ironey.

On 2 Enero 2000 in the early afternoon, Mangoo sailed into the Auralian Strait but struck a rock at 20:23 (AST) about 13 km (8.1 mi) north of Uraka, Auralia. This tore open a 43 m (141.1 ft) gash on the starboard side of her hull, which soon flooded parts of the engine room, cutting power from the engines and ship services. Several ships were despatched to assist when her SNN message was received, but most were obliged to turn back due to the poor weather.

The evacuation of Mangoo took over 6 hours, and of the 2,219 passengers and 850 crew known to be aboard, 64 died. The Mangoo completely sank at 23:47
