An abandoned oil tanker from Panama has washed up on the shores of West Africa, prompting questions about what happened to the ship’s crew. 

The 210-foot-long tanker, the Tamaya 1, was headed toward the Sengalese port of Dakar, and was last seen on April 21. 

It took authorities weeks to respond to the tanker, which landed on the shores near Robertsport, which doesn’t have a port.
