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.
Over the course of 87 days, the damaged Macondo wellhead, located around 5,000 feet beneath the ocean's surface, leaked an estimated 3.19 million barrels (over 130 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexicoâmaking the spill the largest accidental ocean spill in history.
