Argo Merchant, 640-foot Liberian oil tanker, breaks up December 21, 1976, in rough seas a week after going aground 27 miles SE off Nantucket. Winds swept 7.6 million gallons of fuel oil away from Cape Cod and Georges Bank. All crew escaped. Photographer, Ed Jenner. From A Century of New England in News Photographs, by John Harris, published by the Globe Pequot Press, Chester, Connecticut. Reprinted by permission.
