1942 Limburgia, EUR 250.000,-

The Limburgia tugboat is a characteristic example of Dutch wartime shipbuilding. Built in 1942 by Gebroeders Boot in Leiderdorp, this robust motor tugboat was used for heavy-duty work: towing ships from DBG-Ruhrort along the Rhine to Mannheim and back. Originally equipped with a 300-hp steam engine, the Limburgia underwent a major modernization in 1963. Since then, she has been powered by a powerful Brons 8ED 8-cylinder diesel engine producing 500 hp, reaching 335 rpm—an impressive piece of engineering known for its reliability and characteristic sound.

With her rugged appearance, impressive length of over 28 meters, and a beam of almost 6 meters, the Limburgia is not only a powerhouse but also a piece of maritime heritage. A unique opportunity for enthusiasts of historic tugboats and maritime heritage.
