I remember this crane when I was on the S S Leslie Lykes in the San Francisco area. We loaded a part of an oil refinery cracking tower on the deck going to Indonesia. It took most of the day to load it. And the longshoremen built wooden braces to hold everything in place. There were just a few inches clearance where it rested on the deck.

What a brilliant machine. You’d never guess that it was driven by steam just by looking at it, but then it starts working, and you can hear the chuffing. Very elegant and refined indeed. May I ask where it is? I’d like to do some research into its origin and operation.

Fantastic video-shot so imaginatively!
