The *Goulet* (as the *Liberty Hunter*) was converted to a supply barge in 2002 by Liberty Oil Refining & Association, Inc., Las Vegas. During Hurricane Wilma in 2005 she slipped her moorings at Walkers Cay and drifted onto a coral reef near Man-O-War Cay in the Bahamas. Her upperworks were removed, but the hull remains on the reef, I believe.

What happend with the Goulet? From my understanding, it was purchased by Bahamas Oil and went to Walker's Cay, Bahamas.
But today I came across this...

The guy talks about Snorkeling the Louis J Goulet wreck.
Did the Goulet sink on its way to the Bahamas?
Any info would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!
