Oil Escapes From Golden Ray Wreck Near Brunswick

Responders are cleaning up oil that spilled from the Golden Ray, the cargo ship that’s been stuck on the Georgia coast for more than a year and a half.

That’s after the wreck caught fire last month, and the removal process overall has taken much longer than expected.

The Golden Ray overturned in September 2019 as it was leaving the Port of Brunswick with 4,200 cars on board. It’s remained on its side near St. Simons Island since then.
