For him, the ship filled with oil means pride and status. Through questions similar to yours, we can see that you are referring to "Ile" written by Eugene O'Neill.
By reading this text, we can see that:
- Captain Keeney, his wife, and some sailors travel on a ship to find whales from which they can extract the ile, which is a type of oil of great economic value.
