While the order was corrected only seconds later, the vessel could not alter course in time..."

30 Years Later: Remembering the Julie N oil spill in Casco Bay

PORTLAND (WGME) — "It was a beautiful fall day on Casco Bay 30 years ago, but the scene quickly turned dark when an oil tanker slammed into Portland’s Million-Dollar Bridge.
"The Julie N, carrying more than 8 million gallons of oil, struck the bridge on Sept. 27, 1996, spilling more than 179,000 gallons into Casco Bay and the Fore River in what became the largest oil spill in Portland’s history."
