1967

March 18th: Supertanker Torrey Canyon has run aground on rocks between Land's End and the Scilly Isles and is leaking its cargo of oil into the sea.

The 974-ft (297m) tanker, which was carrying 100,000 tons of crude oil, hit Pollard's Rock in the Seven Stones reef.

1910

March 18th: A classic, legendary Grand National. Blessed with the presence of a great horse, Jerry M, who put up the best weight carrying performance since Manifesto in 1900, this renewal marked the beginning of a period that would cement the National not only as the most popular horse race in the world but also as the most wonderfully chaotic. The fences were not any higher (see the discussion section for 1909), however, they were almost certainly thicker, stiffer and more firmly grown from 1910. Each horse's most dangerous bar to success was not always another horse and jockey but the challenge of negotiating the obstacles and the consequences of the havoc they wreaked in the form of a veritable posse of loose horses (as can be seen in the brief film).
