Titan Crane on the Site of John Brown's Shipyard, River Clyde, Clydebank

Titan Crane on the Site of John Brown's Shipyard, River Clyde, Clydebank
Titan Clydebank is a 150-foot-high (46 m) cantilever crane at Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was designed to be used in the lifting of heavy equipment, such as engines and boilers, during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard. It was also the world's first electrically powered cantilever crane, and the largest crane of its type at the time of its completion. Situated at the end of a U-shaped fitting out basin, the crane was used to construct some of the largest ships of the 20th century, including the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth. The Category A Listed historical structure was refurbished in 2007 as a tourist attraction and shipbuilding museum. Quoted from Wikipedia.
