ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An oil containment boom is provided herein. It includes an elongated member of generally V-shaped cross- section, which is provided by a front wall section and a (preferably higher) rear wall section, joined together along respective lower edges. Ballast means are provided which are located at the joint between the front and rear walls for normally maintaining the elongated member upright. Float means (preferably inflatable) are provided, which are disposed between the front wall and the rear wall at a predetermined and preselected level above the joint. Liquid deflecting means are positioned above the float means and are secured to the front and rear walls in a watertight manner to form a catch basin in the upper portion of the boom, so that liquid is prevented from entering the boom below the level of the liquid deflecting means. Drainage means are provided within one of the walls, preferably the front wall to permit polluted liquid trapped in the catch basin to escape therefrom to a location outside of one of the walls.
