Oil spill fouls Chesapeake Bay shores near Norfolk
Crews cleaned about 30000 gallons of No 4 heavy fuel oil from a collision of two cargo ships four miles north of Norfolk. The spill, one of the bay’s largest in a decade, threatened two miles of Oceanview beaches and the crab nursery. Coast Guard and other agencies closed the main shipping channel for hours while cleanup began.
