Crane - heritage

Taken on 29/08/2024. This crane is on a dock parallel to the Station Pier. This used to unload and load ships. Post World War II there were 11 cranes in operation along the pier. Decommissioned in 1975. There is history of the renovation of the crane that may interest you. [ https://www.lovellchen.com.au/lc/station-pier-crane/] This example is part of the heritage interpretation scheme for the pier.

Thanks for your view, comments and favs for "Tonight". All welcome.

Grateful for all of God's blessings.

How wonderful this crane is still standing! We were struck by the cranes we saw when we cruised the Rhein River. They looked like Star Wars At At Walkers.

Beautiful composition. I like the juxtaposition of this old crane with those big container cranes in the distance.
