Summary
Describes the oil tanker ExxonValdez, the events that led up to its disastrous oil spill in 1989, and the effects of the spill on the Alaskan environment. In the darkness, a giant ship sailed toward an environmental nightmare. The supertanker ExxonValdez struck a reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound just after midnight on March 24, 1989, spilling eleven million gallons of crude oil. Hundreds of thousands of birds and other animals died. The spill also threatened the lifestyle of Native Alaskans as well as the jobs of commercial fishermen. Learn about the causes of this environmental disaster and the subsequent struggle to restore an endangered wilderness.
