Antique crane?

At the old Baton Rouge city docks along the Mississippi River. I figure it was used to load and unload cargo, but am not sure if it has a name.

Great pov and capture

It is very interesting- and I'm somewhat surprised it hasn't been dismantled. I'd think it was an attractive thing for foolish teens and others to try and climb to the top. Great subject for black and white though. Lots of nice lines here.
