Oil barge spill near Thousand Island resort area
An oil barge carrying 160000 barrels struck a fogbound shoal near the Thousand Island resort area on the St Lawrence River. About 5000 barrels leaked into the water, threatening vegetation and wildlife as Coast Guard and Seaway crews race to contain the heavy sticky oil. The barge operated by Oswego Barge Co. was en route from a Canadian port to Oswego, and several tanks ruptured before grounding near Mason Point. Coast Guard teams arrived from distant locations to assist in containment.
