Scope and content
Contains correspondence, press articles and reports relating to the shipwreck of the "Torrey Canyon" oil tanker which occurred on 18/3/67 between the Isles of Scilly and Lands End. The effects of the oil spill on marine and coastal life are discussed. Ways to prevent a future similar incident are explored, and the handling of the disaster at the time is criticised. A Select Committee on Science and Technology was set up under the chairmanship of Sir Harry Legge-Bourke to investigate the incident.
