The Torrey Canyon was the first of the big supertankers, capable of carrying a cargo of 120,000 tons of crude oil.
On March 18, 1967 the Torrey Canyon struck Pollard's Rock in the Seven Stones reef between the Scilly Isles and Land's End, England, casuing major environmental damage on the English and French coasts.
