Beginning of the seaborne oil trade goes back to 1861, two years after the first oilwell was drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The brig Elisabeth Watt was the first ship loaded 224 tons of oil in barrels in Philadelphia and carried all the way through the Atlantic Ocean, delivery for London. The seaborne oil trade grew steadily as the years went by, reaching almost 2.4 billion tons in the year 2006, while was merely 35 million tons in the early 1920s.
