Oil Tankers: Delivering the Energy that Fuels Our Lives.
April 24, 2013 through June 16, 2013

This exhibit looks at the impressive ships known as oil tankers and the worldwide industry that transports oil. Due to their economy of scale, oil tankers are an efficient and cost effective means of transport, which, along with the people who operate them, help provide fuel for our cars, heat for our homes, and make possible many products that we use in our daily lives. A brief history of shipping, information on tanker design and technology, photographs, and a documentary video will be on display.
