The supertanker Torrey Canyon struck Pollard's Rock in the Seven Stones Reef, between Cornwall England and the Scillie Isles. This is off the Southwestern coast of Cornwall. The vessel sunk in 30 meters of water. The Royal Air Force bombed the ship to allow it to break up, and burn off the oil it was releasing.
