In the distance stands the Titan a 150-foot-high cantilever crane at Clydebank, it was designed for lifting heavy equipment during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the World famous John Brown’s shipyard. 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. Also in the photo next to the crane is the new Clydebank College, taking centre place now in what was the original slipway of the shipyard.
