Erawan Oil Spill

Résumé du livre

"On Tuesday, September 25, 1973 at 0319 hours, the British freighter, Erawan, and the Japanese container ship, Sun Diamond, collided near the Point Grey bell buoy. The night was apparently clear, though a stiff wind was blowing and a strong seas current running. Both vessels had fully licensed Canadian pilots on board. As a result of the collision, the Erawan received a 30-foot hole amidships on her starboard side. Approximately 206 long tons of oil, reported to be of the 950 Redwood grade, was lost to the sea from the Erawan"--Introduction, pages 1-2.
