I am in Copenhagen and just got back from the DieselHouse. This Museum holds a huge Diesel engine that was commissioned to Burmeister & Wain in 1932. From when it operated in 1933 as a supplemental electrical power unit for the city of Copenhagen until 1963, it was the largest Diesel engine in the World. It still operates today, but only as a demonstration of the 1930’s technology.
But there are other exhibits in the museum. They have a model on the Selandia, the first ship ever to have a Diesel Engine. One of the more interesting stories is how Winston Churchill Inspected the Selandia on its maiden voyage in 1912 when he worked for the Navy. There are several exhibits from the history of B&W, to the History of how the Diesel Engine changed the world, to innovation in giant Diesel motors the will be but into the next generation of Navy Ships.
