Marine kerosene heaters are still being made!  "Refleks Olieovne A/S" in Denmark and has a considerable list of various models and sizes.  The heaters appear to be "pot burner" style heaters, not wick-type heaters, similar to Dickinson Marine.  The site is in Danish but Google Translate is available.

Dickinson Marine in Canada is a major manufacturer of diesel or kerosene pot burner type marine heaters and stoves. I have their ''Alaska'' model and can guarantee it works. They do have a YouTube channel for those interested in how pot burner style heaters and stoves work and are adjusted.
