In 1878, the world's first oil tanker set sail from Baku across the Caspian Sea. Named Zoroaster, the vessel was designed by Ludvig Nobel and Alexander Shukov to solve a dangerous problem: transporting kerosene in wooden barrels. This episode traces the Zoroaster's construction at the Nobel brothers' Baltic shipyard, its voyage from Astrakhan to Baku, and its revolutionary impact on the global oil trade. We also explore the role of the Baku-based firm Branobel, the rivalry with the Rothschilds, and how the tanker's success sparked a fleet of similar vessels that transformed the Caspian into a highway for petroleum. Along the way, we touch on the geological challenges of the Absheron Peninsula and the lives of the workers who built and sailed these early tankers. #Zoroaster #FirstOilTanker #BakuOil #NobelBrothers #LudvigNobel #AlexanderShukov #Branobel #CaspianSea #Astrakhan #Absheron #Kerosene #OilHistory #MaritimeHistory #Caucasus #Azerbaijan #FexingoHistory #19thCentury #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
