Antique Marine Engine Exposition
The transition from sail to engine
power was a momentous event for the maritime industry – and the
world. Experience it firsthand as collectors from around the country
show off a humming, steaming display of 19th- and early 20th-century
marine engines. Inboards, outboards, steam engines and models
will be on display in the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
