MV New Carissa was a freighter that ran aground on a beach near Coos Bay, Oregon, United States during a storm in February 1999.

The New Carissa started leaking its fuel into the local environment creating a toxic disaster.

After being set on fire with napalm to burn off its fuel the ship broke in two.

The bow was towed out to see where it was hit by multiple naval artillery pieces and torpedos.

The Stern would stay on the beach for nearly 10 years before being dismantled.
