Cruquius Museum

Cruquius Museum

Largest steam engine in the world
The Cruquius houses the worlds’ largest steam engine: its main cylinder has a diameter of 3.66 metres! The engine could drain up to 320,000 litres of water per minute, that’s one Olympic swimming pool every 8 minutes. The engine room, unchanged since 1849, is a marvel of Victorian engineering.
