Community Garage Sale

On Saturday June 27th volunteers from Dake a JSJ Business and JSJ hosted a community garage sale at Dake to benefit the United Way.

"This is just the first of our Summer of Fun fund raising events", said Elizabeth LeGrand, Human Resources Manager.

"We thought we'd do a bunch of smaller events this summer so that everyone here at Dake can find an event that they can participate in. We want to encourage community service".

111-Year-Old Dake Engine Still Operational

We have a 1898 Dake rotary engine attached to a Box Co. windless. Runs great! Recently did an ABS/USCG dead lift test with a 350# anchor and 150' of chain. Boat (CANGARDA) is now fully operational with all original machinery. I believe this setup is totally unique in the world. It's original equipment with the boat. All the machinery (Sullivan triple expansion main engine, Sullivan circulating pump, 2 Davidson feed pumps, Davidson vacuum pump, Fairbanks fire and bilge pump and Dake/Box anchor windless) was installed by the builder, Pusey & Jones, in Wilmington, DE in 1901. We put in a brand new oil fired water tube boiler.
