Hi Harry, When we were in Maine last month we visited a maritime museum
in Bath. I spotted this engine in a boat and thought maybe you'd like
to see a picture of it. -- Mike Matthews

Thumbs up Re: Knox Engine

Neat looking engine! I bet that starting handle was a real knuckle buster if the engine kicked though

Mike and Harry, one of those marine engines in the Maine Maritime Museum, Bath, Me. is a KENNEBEC 5h.p. made circa 1906 which I had for several years after purchasing in 1968 and restoring. I donated it to this fine museum a few years ago. I also have a 3h.p. KNOX., and an original 1905 KNOX sales catalog. There were several marine engine mfrs. along the coast of Maine, but saltwater is a great enemy and many ended up as anchors on the bottom of the ocean.
