The Jupiter oil spill went down in history as one of the top 10 most famous spills in history. This oil spill wasn't an accident on the crew or the captain's part, instead it was caused by, "the tank vessel of Jupiter caught fire and exploded during offloading operations". This spill took place,"on the Saginaw river near Bay City, Michigan",& the type of oil spilled was petroleum oil. There was 75 feet of oil spilled in the Jupiter Oil Spill. Also, the actual oil spill actually only took half an hour to control, because the oil spill occurred when the ship was delivering the oil. So they knew how much oil was spilled, because they knew they had an easier time cleaning it.
Here's a picture link for the spill :
