ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: An oil boom for collecting and skimming surface oil floating on a body of water, the boom comprising at least two generally parallel, elongated surface barrier screens having a density sufficient to cause the screens to float in water with a draft at least slightly greater than the maximum thickness of the floating oil layer. Means are provided for supporting the barrier screens within a surface current of water flowing towards the barrier screens in a direction generally trans- versely of their longitudinal direction; and flow diverter means are located beneath the barrier screens for diverting at least a portion of the surface current towards one end of the boom and between said barrier screens. The flow diverter means comprises at least a single inclined flow diverting deflector element having at least a portion thereof angularly oriented relative to the principal horizontal and vertical axes of the oil boom, whereby oncoming surface current flowing towards the deflector element is diverted upwardly and laterally towards one end of the boom.
