Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Company website notes: The Interstate Oil Transportation Company was formed after a company that was referred to… as the "Old Boyer Firm," reorganized their operations that included canal towing, and coal barge operations on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1931, the Interstate Oil Transportation Company was approached by a man by the named Thornton Dayton Hooper. Who at the time, was supporting a family of five sons. And was seeking out new business opportunities, at the behest of his wife. After being injured in combat, during World War I. Which required that his foot to be amputated above the ankle. Following the end of World War I, Thornton began working for S.C. Loveland Enterprises Incorporated of Pennsville, New Jersey. Thornton approached Lewis Boyer of the newly reorganized Interstate Oil Transportation Company with an idea to service and establish a route along the Cape Fear River, from Wilmington, North Carolina to Fayettville, North Carolina. Although a route from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a to Wilmington, North Carolina had already been established via the Intercoastal Waterway, utilizing coastal tankers. An extension via the Cape Fear River, would allow for product to be delivered to the Piedmont Region. Thornton worked for a year with no salary. If successful, his agreement with Boyer would result in him becoming a partner in the Interstate Oil Transportation Company. The refineries of Philadelphia had been established to handle product that was coming out of Oil City, Pennsylvania. Which was one of the first petroleum wells in world, which was located in Western Pennsylvania. Philadelphia was the largest refining center until the second decade of the twentieth century. As the need for Petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, diesel fuel, lubricants and asphalt grew. The demand for gasoline forced the refineries to seek more crude oil, far beyond the capacity that railroads could provide. The Interstate Oil Transportation Company began serving this demand, transporting the oil from refineries to points along the Delaware River to areas that included South New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania. The equipment at the time, consisted of wooden scow barges, with steel tanks fitted to their decks. And the company's tugs were powered by coal fired steam engines. The Company operated on the routes Thornton established for two years. In exceptionally good condition.
