Torrey Canyon Oil Spill. By Ethan Marasco. What is the Torrey Canyon oil spill. On March 18, 1967 in Cornwall, England, the world's first ever supertanker spilled 38 million gallons of Kuwait crude oil. The supertanker crashed into Pollards Rock between the Cornish coastline and the Isle of Scilly.
Eleven workers were killed on the Deepwater Horizon rig. But it was more than a deadly accident â the blast unleashed the nation's worst offshore environmental catastrophe. In the spring and summer of 2010, oil gushed from the Macondo well for nearly three months. More than 3 million barrels of Louisiana light crude fouled beaches and wetlands from Texas to Florida, affecting wildlife and livelihoods. Today, the spill's impacts linger.
