The tugboat Limburgia is a characteristic example of Dutch shipbuilding from the war years. Built in 1942 by Gebroeders Boot in Leiderdorp, this sturdy motor tugboat was used for heavy-duty tasks: towing ships from DBG-Ruhrort over the Rhine to Mannheim and back. Originally equipped with a 300 hp steam engine, the Limburgia underwent a significant modernization in 1963. Since then, it has been powered by a powerful Brons 8ED 8-cylinder diesel engine of 500 hp, capable of 335 revolutions per minute – an impressive piece of technology known for its reliability and distinctive sound. With its rugged appearance, impressive length of over 28 meters, and a width of nearly 6 meters, the Limburgia is not only a powerhouse but also a piece of sailing heritage. A unique opportunity for enthusiasts of historic tugboats or maritime cultural heritage.
