My sailor friend says:

Cuando trabaja en un barco petrolero, siempre veía el barco MAKEDONIA semi hundido, llegando a Warri, Nigeria y luego de unos años ya eran 3 barcos abandonados, pero si amigo estas correcto con la ubicación!!!

I believe the correct spelling of the vessel name was MAKEDONIA - IMO no. 5303249. She was buil in Japan as Ryuyo Maru in 1957 and became Makedonia in 1975. It is reported that she caught fire on April 13th 1978 but curiously that the wreck was seen at Nouadhibou in 1990 (info c/o Miramar).
Best Regards, Neil
