For 10 years, Wilson thought the cargo container he was using as a bridge was empty.
Now, when he opened it, he discovered a $2-million engine inside.
Wilsons story began in mid-1990s when he bought a old cargo container for $400.
Wilson said the engines on a Canadian destroyer, HMCS Athabaskan were replaced during a refit in 1994.
The old engines were completely overhauled and placed in sealed cargo containers.
Eventually, the containers were advertised in the Annapolis Valley buy-and-sell flyer,as empty.
He never bothered to open it.
When he finally did, he also found the service log book for the Pratt & Whitney turbine.
Wilson believes hes the rightful owner and has been trying to sell his find online for months.
Wilson says that the buy-and-sell company was selling seven more containers like the one he bought years ago.
Now that he knows whats inside, hes kicking himself for only buying another one.
