The Titan Crane, Clydebank
by The Jacobite

The “Titan” is a 150ft high cantilever crane, it was designed for lifting heavy equipment during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the World famous “John Brown’s shipyard” in Clydebank Scotland. It was the world's first electrically powered cantilever crane, and the largest crane of its type at the time of its completion. The crane was used to construct some of the largest ships of the 20th century, including the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2.
