Day 101 of 365 Photo Challenge. Titan Clydebank is a 150-foot-high (46 m) cantilever crane at Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was designed to be used in the lifting of heavy equipment, such as engines and boilers, during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard. It was also the world's first electrically powered cantilever crane, and the largest crane of its type at the time of its completion. Situated at the end of a U-shaped fitting out basin, 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. The Category A Listed historical structure was refurbished in 2007 as a tourist attraction and shipbuilding museum. The shipyard at Clydebank was created in 1871 after the company James & George Thomson moved from the Graving Docks in Govan. John Brown & Company purchased the yard in 1899, and in 1905, a £24,600 order for the crane was placed with Dalmarnock based engineering company Sir William Arrol & Co. Titan was completed two years later in 1907. It was constructed by the Scottish engineer Adam Hunter (1869–1933), who was working as Chief Engineer for Arrol & Co., having served his apprenticeship on the construction of the Forth Bridge. Stothert & Pitt of Bath, England, fabricated and installed most of the machinery for the Titan, including electric motors built by Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co.#365photochallenge #photooftheday #parkinsons #titancrane #crane #reflection #blue #Clydebuilt #clydebank #riverclyde #uniteforparkinsons #worldparkinsonsday #industrial https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIdFWYDou6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1exgnvjx90jo9

Inside the operators cabin of the #TitanCrane … If it weren’t for the A/C unit behind me, this would surely be the hottest spot in #Panama as it must have been at some point prior. There is no modern technology in here. Everything is run by mechanical & visual instrumentation. as old as Titan is, apparently the German engineering still impresses today.
