ESSO history: In 1898 Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon Mobil Corporation) acquired a majority interest in Imperial. In the 1900's, Standard Oil of New Jersey started marketing its products under the brand name 'Esso', which is the phonetic pronunciation of the initials 'S' and 'O' in Standard Oil. The ESSO Petroleum Company Fleet History (The fleet has a very long history, this is just a short WWII related history) The Anglo-American Oil Company lost nine of its vessels through enemy action during the 1939-1945 War, leaving ten of its pre-war vessels in the fleet in 1946. From 1947, with the formation of the Esso Transportation Company Limited, formed by renaming the Lago Shipping Company Limited, a new funnel emblem was introduced in place of the red black-topped Anglo-American funnel. It took the form of the ESSO oval on a white band on a black funnel. The ‘oval’, edged in blue, had the word ‘Esso’ in red. Gradually the vessels from this time were renamed with the Esso prefix.
