These tankers are bound for Russia, symbolizing the vital distribution network that connected these two nations during this era. The scene depicted here is filled with intrigue and importance as it represents the booming oil industry of that time. The intricate details within the engraving beautifully illustrate the scale and magnitude of this operation.
