 The spill started on March 24,1989 in the early morning in Alaska. The tanker Exxon Valdez had just gotten loaded with north slope Crude oil and scraped a reef. For two days oil spilled into the water. Over 260,000 barrels of oil poured out. After the spill the Exxon Valdez was renamed the Sea River Mediterranean.
