Ghost ship mystery as oil tanker washes up on remote beach with NOBODY on board
2016-05-09
[MIRROR.CO.UK] Experts are baffled after a huge oil tanker washed up on a beach with nobody on board.

The Tamaya 1's position hadn't been recorded for three weeks when it mysteriously appeared on the shores of Liberia in west Africa .

Locals were shocked to find that there was nobody on board and immediately raised the alarm – but police didn't respond for days.

The 64-metre tanker was on the way to the Sengalese port of Dakar and it was last seen on 21st April.
