| abstract | - On 29 September 1913 Rudolf Diesel, German engineer who invented the Diesel engine, boarded the Dresden at Antwerp, Belgium on his way to a meeting in London. He retired to his cabin about 22:00 with a request to be called at 06:15 in the morning, but he was not seen alive again. Later a Dutch ship found a body floating in the sea and from the items and clothes recovered the remains were identified as Diesel's.
