Best Answer

The first ships to carry mineral oil (as opposed to whale oil) were not designed particularly for oil - the oil would be carried in jars or barrels.

Ludvig Nobel (brother of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel prize) is probably the key pioneer of designing ships specifically to carry oil. He was Swedish.
