"Scheherezade", with the approval of the United States Government. The total amount of the cargo was 17,101 tons, almost all of which consisted of gasoline and kerosene. The consignors of 5,281 tons of the shipment were the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The consignors of the remainder were the Socony Oil Company.
