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.
March 24, 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The Exxon Valdez oil spill began when a 987-foot-long oil tanker ran aground on a reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The spill stood as the worst in U.S. history until BP's Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The Exxon Valdez released an estimated 10.8 million gallons of crude oil before the spill was contained, fouling about 1,300 miles of coastline. The remote location of the spill and a delayed and inadequate response from Exxon and Trans-Alaska Pipeline operator Alyeska made matters even worse.
