Ships resume on Mississippi after oil spill closure
The first of about 200 ships trapped by a major Mississippi spill began moving as Coast Guard reopened the river from New Orleans upriver. About 419000 gallons leaked from a barge collision with the tanker Tintomara, 11000 gallons recovered, with cleanup and hull scrubbing stations set up near the river mouth.
