No Joe,

Drake was the first to drill the first well. Schukyull Barrelling
Company was the first to barrel it and ship it. As I said Joe, in wooden
barrels on Wooden sailing ships.

By the way, Standard Oil was still delivering oil to Hawaii in drums by
Sailing Square Rigged ships right up to WW2. although I have to admit
they were Steel Drums and the Sailing ship was a Five Masted Clipper
steel hulled.

I'll try to get a copy of the picture of the boat. The Daughter of the
Captain,who was Born on that ship is still alive an lives in Bellingham.
She married a 3rd Mate who worked for Richfield, When we Staffed this
Refinery we became good Friend. He is died but Charlet is still living
