BonnieLass Just for info, oil on water is unwilling to burn as the Royal Navy discovered in the Torrey Canyon disaster which sent thousands of tons of crude into the English Channel. My friend Giles, one of the Buccaneer pilots who attacked with incendiaries and napalm, told me that the oil certainly burned around the ordnance but "the damn stuff just wouldn't stay alight no matter what we tried". Thanks for your hard work in keeping us in touch with shipping aspects of Trump's disaster.
