Exxon Valdez was the original name of an oil tanker owned by the Exxon oil company that hit Prince William Sound's Bligh Reef and spilled between 11 million and 30 million US gallons (42,000 and 132,000 m³) of crude oil in March 1989. As a result of the spill, an estimated 250,000 sea birds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, and 250 bald eagles were killed. The tanker's captain was later found guilty of negligence.
