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.
Location: Persian Gulf, Kuwait. Oil Spilled: 380 million-520 million gallons. The worst oil spill in world history wasn't the result of a tanker accident, a pipeline failure, or an offshore drilling catastrophe. It was an act of war. During the Gulf War, Iraqi forces attempted to stop a potential American troop landing by opening the valves at the Sea Island oil terminal in Kuwait and dumping oil from several tankers in the Persian Gulf.
