Navy oil platform placed off Santa Barbara coast
A 1500 ton drilling platform was towed to its offshore position near Santa Barbara amid a nonviolent standoff with two protest vessels. Sun Oil crews and tugboats maneuvered the rig six miles from the coast as private boats occupied the area to hinder installation after January’s well blowout. The platform was positioned about 200 feet from protestors, with workmen guiding its legs into holes on the ocean floor.
