ABSTRACT:
An oil-retaining boom structure for disposition upon a body of water, preferably surrounding an off-shore oil well has a plurality of bouyant float members movably connected together by a connecting cable which extends through the body structure of each float member. Each float member comprises an elongate housing having weights disposed in one end thereof adapted to retain that housing end downward in the water. The floats are interconnected with each other through the connecting cable with washer means surrounding the cable between the adjacent floats. The washer means preferably have grooved means surrounding the circumference of the washer to accommodate elongate rods which can be used to retain portions of the boom in parallel relationship if desired to form a channel for the oil within the boom. The floats have sheet means attached to at least one side thereof extending along the boom to retain the oil on one side of the sheet means as the boom rides at or near the surface of the water.
