Description:

US-tanker PURE OIL is here seen on the Mississippi River in august 1980.
She was built 1945 at Bethlehem Steel, Sparrows Point (Baltimore), and is of the T3-type tanker.
This vessel seem to have sailed her whole life under the same name, and without any noteable modifications. The only change seem to be that owning company changed name from Pure Oil Co. to Union Oil Co. of California in 1965.
About one year after I took this photo, on 22 september 1981 she arrived at Brownsville, Tx. for B/U.

For almost 40 years the vessel was put into good use by the oil company and they did not speculate with it and try to make money in the sale/purchase market.
I like that.
