We received this email last week from a man in the Netherlands:

Hello,

I am not the owner of a Atlas Imperial engine, but I am the owner of an inland barge in the Netherlands. Today we had a big crane barge alongside and I was talking to the owner how old it was and more like that.

He told me there was a Atlas Imperial engine inside. The crane was build in 1944 and was made, to put tanks a shore in Normadie during the second world war. The engine is what they say about 240hp. The engine is working well and is being used more times a week. The owner is a yunkyard in Hendrik Ido Ambacht near Rotterdam. For more information you can contact me.

I hope i could have given you some good information.


That's great to hear.  We'll definitely ask you for more information as we track down the Atlas-powered crane barges.
