Tanker was named after;
Edward Laurence Doheny (1856-1935),
The entrepreneur who created Los Angeles’ first oil boom and went on to become one of the wealthiest and most controversial
men in America, was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the son of an Irish laborer and gardener. His father, Patrick, came to the
United States from Canada where he had migrated to escape the Great Famine. Bright and ambitious, young Edward set out to
seek his fortune as a silver miner in the New Mexico Territory. When his prospecting ended in failure, he headed for Los Angeles
to join a friend, Charles Canfield, who had managed to amass a small fortune in the mines. Doheny arrived in L.A. to find that
Canfield had lost most of his money in land speculation.
No sisterships.
