Bunkering at Sea: Oiling and Coaling in Mid-Ocean - A Contrast between the New Method and the Old The top illustration depicts the modern and silent technique of a war vessel taking on oil fuel through a hose, connecting it to an oil-carrying ship. This new method, introduced around the turn of the 20th century, revolutionized the way naval fleets refueled at sea. The process was more efficient, less labor-intensive, and significantly reduced the risk of accidents compared to the traditional methods. The photograph below, however, showcases the elaborate and noisy process of a war vessel receiving bags of coal from a collier. In contrast to the streamlined oiling process, coaling was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Coal was transported from the collier to the war vessel using a variety of methods, including boats, cranes, and chutes. The coal was then transferred to the vessel's bunkers, often with the help of a large crew. Despite the challenges, coal remained the primary fuel source for naval vessels until the widespread adoption of oil fuel in the early 20th century. The contrast between the two methods highlights the technological advancements that transformed naval warfare and logistics during this period. This image, dating back to 1910, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of maritime technology and the daily life of a naval crew during this era.
