Humble's San Francisco tanker to set Baytown record voyage
The SS San Francisco of Humble Oil will arrive at Baytown docks Tuesday at 2 p.m. on its maiden voyage from New Orleans and head to Boston after loading multiple fuel grades. At 810 feet it will be the largest company owned tanker, but only about 540000 barrels will be pumped due to Houston Ship Channel depth. The ship joins two other new Humble tankers, Baton Rouge and an unfinished third, with the Manhattan record cargo set in 1963 at Baytown.
