When the first tugboat arrived last night, the ship had drifted about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of its previous location off the coast of Mexico because of strong currents and was almost equidistant from Mobile, Carnival said in a statement last night. Towing the ship with the current to Alabama was the preferred option, the company said.
