THUMS Islands (original) (raw)
Die THUMS Islands bestehen aus vier künstlichen Inseln in der San Pedro Bay vor Long Beach, Kalifornien. Der Name THUMS setzt sich aus den Anfangsbuchstaben der fünf Ölgesellschaften zusammen, die die Betreibergesellschaft gründeten: Texaco (jetzt Chevron), (jetzt ExxonMobil), Union Oil (jetzt Chevron), Mobil (jetzt ExxonMobil) und Shell Oil Company. Diese Betreibergesellschaft ließ die Inseln bauen und benannte sie im Jahr 1967 nach den vier tödlich verunglückten NASA-Astronauten Theodore Freeman, der bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben gekommen war, sowie Gus Grissom, Edward Higgins White und Roger B. Chaffee, den Opfern beim Brand der Kapsel von Apollo 1.

The THUMS Islands were built in 1965 to tap into the East Wilmington Oil Field. The landscaping and sound walls were designed to camouflage the operation and reduce noise, and they are the only decorated oil islands in the United States. The islands were named for the company who bid for original operating contract, THUMS, a consortium named after its parent companies: Texaco, Humble, Unocal, Mobil, and Shell. Since 1967, they have also been known as the Astronaut Islands, each individual island having been named in honor of an American astronaut who lost their lives in the service of NASA. Island Freeman (Theodore C. "Ted" Freeman) is named for the first astronaut to perish in active duty (piloting a T-38 Talon jet trainer). Islands Chaffee (Roger B. Chaffee), Grissom (Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom) and White (Ed White) are named after the Apollo 1 astronauts killed in a launch pad accident. (en) |
