 Friendly Floatees spill

The "Friendly Floatees" spill refers to a maritime incident that occurred in 1992 when a shipping container filled with thousands of plastic bath toys, including rubber ducks, frogs, and turtles, fell overboard from a cargo ship in the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, this incident happened when the ship, the *Ever Laurel*, encountered rough seas in the north Pacific, causing the container to break loose and spill its contents into the ocean.
