The article started with "The Glückauf was the worlds first proper oil tanker. It was in use from 1886 to 1892 or 1893, when it ran aground at Fire Island in New York.[1]". At [1] this would seem entirely contradicted by the claim of the Nobel owned Zoraster. As TWAMWIR I am able to add some more material about the Glückauf but the issue of its notability needs resolution. It certainly represented a step forward but "first proper oil tanker" I find difficult to accept.There is also relevant material at [2] .TWAMWIR (talk) 12:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
