I enjoyed the article by John Cunninghan in the May Gas Engine Magazine, ‘The One Lungers: Acadia’s Gas Engines Made Marine History.’ A large share of their output was of marine engines, though his accompanying picture was of their stationary engines. The article got me to thinking about our vacation trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in 1987.
In 1987 there were no longer any of the old one lunges in use in Nova Scotia, though there were a few in Newfoundland. The important Nova Scotia marine engine makes had been Acadia and Atlantic. Mr. Cunningham told the story of Acadia very well, but I can add a few facts. Acadia Gas Engines Ltd. went bankrupt in 1979. The buildings have since been razed to build condominiums. In 1987, the drawings and most of the patterns were owned by John Meisner, Sr. of ABCO in Lunenburg. The drawings were filed at ABCO and the patterns were stored at Mahone Bay. A few patterns were owned by an engine collector named Hawes in Wolfsville (pronounced Wolful). Mr. Meisner could supply most Acadia parts. He also stated that he would like to sell the Acadia drawings and patterns. The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic had an excellent exhibit of Acadia engines and memorabilia, loaned by Mr. Meisner, according to him.
Atlantic engines were, and still are, built by Lunenburg Foundry in Lunenburg. In the old days, 60% of their output went to Newfoundland and they had branch service and sales facilities in St. John’s. The patterns and tooling were still in the Lunenburg factory and they can still build a two-cycle make and break engine if you could pay for it. We watched a new ‘double four’ (two cylinder, 8 HP) run on the same test stand they used for decades. A duplicate would cost $3645 Canadian ($2800 US). They made all the parts, including an excellent clone of the Schebler model D carburetor.
Lloyd Conrad, sales manager, believed there were still 5000 one lungers in use in Newfoundland, Quebec, and the French Islands (off the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland). We traveled all over Newfoundland and concluded that his estimate was high.
Lunenburg Foundry built a retractable propeller arrangement. Mr. Conrad said those were still in use in dories on the French Islands.
We saw a few other Nova Scotia makes. Stored at the Fisheries Museum was a Haw-bolt, built in Chester. We made inquiries in Chester and found that the Hawbolt factory still existed, making hydraulic equipment. The present owners knew nothing about the end of engine production.
We saw two Lloyd stationary engines. On the nameplate of one was ‘Lloyd Manufacturing Company, Kentville, NS, Marine & Stationary Gas Engines, Sawmill Machines, Etc.’ That statement indicates that they built marine engines. In a small museum we saw two interesting marine engines. The first one bore no name but was a Fraser, according to the donor. There was once a Fraser Machine & Motor Co. in New Glasgow. This one was a single-cylinder two-cycle engine with an unspoked flywheel, jump spark and a Schebler carburetor. The crankcase was made so that the main bearing caps were exposed; main bearings could be taken up without disturbing anything else. The second engine was a two-cycle make &. break with Fairbanks-Morse on the cylinder and C F Co. of the side cover with the ‘F’ in an inverted delta. We wondered whether it was a Canadian Fairbanks-Morse.
I should mention how pleased I was to learn that the Fisheries Museum keeps glycol in the jackets of their engines that have run in salt water. That is very important to prevent destructive rusting.

General Comments About the Website
FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."
FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"
FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."
FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."
FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."
FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."
FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."
FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article.
