Indus Queen | Titanic of Pakistan | Kot Mithan

KOT MITHAN: Over a century old historic ship Indus Queen, docked on the bank of Indus river in Kot Mithan tehsil of Rajanpur district, is decaying rapidly due to negligence by the authorities concerned. The ship was built during British rule in 1867, and was owned by the Nawab of Bahawalpur. It was used to facilitate travel of the guests of the Nawab. The three-storied ship had kitchens for preparing food for 400 guests. There were separate sections for male and female passengers. Local residents say that in the past the ship also facilitated people of the area to travel from Kot Mithan to Chacharan Sharif. They say hundreds of people from both sides of the river travelled on the ship daily. Nawab of Bahawalpur Subh Sadiq gifted the ship to the followers of Kot Mithan and Rohi's Sufi poet Khwaja Ghulam Fareed in 1917, after which it was dedicated to the transportation of devotees. After the establishment of Pakistan, the Nawab’s family took care of the Indus Queen for a few years, after which it was handed over to the highways department. However, the department did not take care of the ship properly and over time its condition deteriorated.
