油槽

 1897年殼牌公司買下淡水嘉士洋行產業，陸續建造三座油槽、儲存量

 分別為2500噸、1200噸及60噸，由淡水鐵道系統特別分出一條倉庫側

 線，以載散裝油品。1944年10月12日美軍轟炸淡水之軍事目標，殼牌

 倉庫被列為第34號標的物，油槽遭美軍命中起火焚毀，此一歷史事件

 遂成為淡水民間廣為流傳的「火燒臭油棧」，油槽現今僅存槽底基礎

 殘跡。

 Oil Tank

 After Shell company bought the estate in 1897 from Lapraik Cass & Co.,

 it immediately built a succession of three oil tanks with a capacity of 2,500 tons,

 1,200 tons and 60 tons respectively. Because of the lateral railway built for oil

 transport, "Shell Warehouse" was listed as the No.34 bombing target during the

 Japanese Colonial Period. On October 12, 1944 the oil tanks were bombed and

 destroyed by the American military. This incident evolved into a folk story

 referred to as the "smelly burning oil tank". Now only a few tank foundations remain.
