The Julie N oil spill occurred on September 27, 1996, when the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Julie N struck the Million Dollar Bridge in Portland, Maine while carrying over 200,000 barrels (32,000 m3) of heating oil. An estimated 180,000 U.S. gallons (680,000 liters) of oil was spilled in the incident; about 38,000 U.S. gallons (140,000 liters) was never recovered.
