Register Your Interest THE PROJECT The 60th anniversary approaches of Britain’s worst shipping disaster, the SS Torrey Canyon supertanker, which ran aground off the western coast of Cornwall, spilling 100,000 tonnes of crude oil and making International headlines in 1967. Over the next two years, Mor Media Charity is set to document the stories of the spill and the clean-up operation that caused enormous damage to marine life, the livelihoods of local people and also changed the way people viewed the environment, galvanising Cornish communities, many of whom are now in their 70s. Black Tide carries profound significance for everyone, symbolising the ongoing evolution of our understanding of environmental impacts, especially those resulting from oil spills and their consequences on marine life, coastlines, and communities. Acknowledging this legacy enhances environmental awareness and accountability; it connects younger generations, families, and broader communities, emphasising the real and enduring effects of environmental disasters. This historical event calls for united action and responsible stewardship, motivating everyone to engage in creating a sustainable future. OUR FUNDERS & PARTNERS Black Tide: The SS Torrey Canyon Oil Spill is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to produce archive, oral history, first-person accounts, film and outreach events. Read More >
