The FS Mangoo, known simply as Mangoo was a ocean liner operated by the Cynthia Line that entered service in 1989. Built by X in West Damien shipyard, Auralia, she was christened 27 Tebax 1989 and began her maiden voyage 27 Tebax 1989. 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 dispatched 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 3 hours, and of the 2,205 passengers and 850 crew known to be aboard, 72 have been confirmed dead including the ship's captain Jakub Vovinkel. The Mangoo fully sank at 23:47. (See more...)
