As Shipwrecks Rust, Oil Spills Are Imminent After decades at the bottom of the sea, thousands of corroded Second World War wrecks threaten to spill their oil into the South Pacific. In 1942, in the midst of World War II, the oil tanker Virginia was anchored off the mouth of the Mississippi River in the Gulf of Mexico, waiting to unload its cargo in nearby New Orleans. It never A sunken oil tanker, one of dozens on the bottom of Micronesia’s Chuuk Lagoon, is releasing streams of purple diesel bubbles. On 31 July, the resulting oil slick was 5 kilometres long. Ships like the Bloody Marsh, particularly the oil tankers, pose a potential pollution threat, as 75 years of corrosion in the deep marine environment could cause seams to split and release the oil cargo. NOAA has identified 87 wrecks that pose a potential pollution threat due to the violent nature in which some ships sank and the structural reduction and demolition of those that were navigational hazards [Bloody Marsh is one of the 87].
