Thanks Kyle; now we only have to know what happened to Tulum after she left Houston in January 1981 on her last voyage.
cheers,
dirk

I think the dates of the two wrecks are confused, as the older photos show several details that match the design of TULUM, IMO 5132676 as seen on the site in a photo of her as GNIEZNO. However, the 1981 date is more likely, as TULUM was last officially reported departing Houston, TX in January, 1981.
I haven't had any luck with vessels named ALEXANDER last reported in that time frame, so perhaps it was never registered under that name.
Kind Regards, Kyle

Actually the wreck's name is/was Tolum;
details about this wreck and nearby wreck of
Alexander vary widely.
