Description:
Atlantic Fisherman magazine advertisement for Mianus diesel oil engines. Diesel became more popular for larger fishing vessels because of their fuel efficiency and simplicity.
They were being installed into sail powered offshore fishing vessels by the 1930s first as auxiliaries. Sails became auxiliaries to engines and finally as more vessels turned from dory fishing to trawling, sails disappeared.
The Mianus company started about 1897 in Mianus Connecticut, building small two cycle gasoline engines. By the time of this advertisement, the factory had moved and they were making much larger marine diesels. The company lasted into the 1950s.
