Hurricane Gustav - Ship ID (WW2 Tanker in New Orleans?)

Ok, I confused two ships.
USGC Courier was a C1 coastal cargo ship that served as a floating radio station.
It was pained in the usual white USCG colours.
Much smaller, painted white and with bridge aft.
This one is the 1962 military cargo ship Courier.

don't feel bad, the press made the exact same mistake. I wonder if Southern even has the facilities to scrap it at this point or weather its going to be repoed because they defaulted on the contract.

Was this ship wandering around in the Industrial Canal the day Gustav hit?
