COMMENT THIS PHOTO(1)
The only rig blowout I can recall in the bay was the Ixtoc 1 fire and explosion on the 3rd June 1979, this fire was eventually extinguished on the 23rd March 1980 by Paul "Red" Adair and is team. The AHTS Gulf Fleet 47 looks new from the photo, she is now called the Vulcano, she was built in 1982 making her three years old when this disaster took place. Have you managed to aquire any more information.
regards
Phil
