They ain't far off the size in the ships I do at work. It's pretty common to be laying in a dump under 1 piston. Standing in the bores ontop of pistons.

As for getting them out of boats. It's typical ship building work. You get someone to come cut the side out and weld it back in etc.

Ive seen engines not far of the size of that. Had to steam clean a few before when I work in the dockyards. Typical type 42 or even carriers engine is no where near as big though. The fort rosalie londons engines are around 3 floors high so about 21-22 ft. And that ship is massive. Its got a few though not just one giant one.

I did wonder if it was a little hobby page of a fifteen year old boy with Asperger's.

Still, I think it's pretty incredible that an engine with such a colossal rotational mass, can rev at 1.5 times or more per second, without destroying itself. Quite a feat of engineering.

Oh and screw those toll charges!
