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.
