EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken circa 1940, showcases the Togo, the first diesel-driven trawler, during the groundbreaking conversion process from marine steam to diesel propulsion. The Togo, a testament to engineering innovation, was once powered by steam engines, but underwent a significant transformation at the LBS Engineering Co. in Lowestoft, UK. The conversion from steam to diesel was a game-changer in the maritime industry, offering numerous advantages over steam power. Diesel engines were more efficient, cleaner, and required less maintenance. Moreover, they provided greater flexibility in speed and maneuverability, making them an attractive alternative to steam engines. The Togo, built by John I. Thornycroft & Company in 1933, was an ideal candidate for this conversion. In the image, we see the trawler being outfitted with the latest diesel engines, marking the beginning of a new era in marine propulsion. The cars and road vehicles in the background serve as a stark contrast to the maritime setting, highlighting the progress being made in both the automotive and maritime industries during this period. The LBS Engineering Co. played a pivotal role in this conversion, showcasing their expertise in engineering and innovation. The successful conversion of the Togo paved the way for the widespread adoption of diesel engines in the maritime industry, revolutionizing the way ships were powered and propelled. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the technological advancements that shaped the maritime world.
