250 Ton Crane, Manchester Ship Canal
The crane was built in 1937 in the Netherlands but the steam plant is British through and through. The big engine is an Ashworth and Parker of Bury compound driving a pair of dynamos for the Ward Leonard DC system driving the crane's lifting drums. The engine in the background is disused and drove the salvage compressor. Steam is raised in a hand fired twin furnace Scotch boiler.

The Manchester Ship Canal, Runcorn
Stunning view from Old Quay. My platform is the 250 Ton Crane, a floating steam crane that is believed to be still in use. This was a with permission visit on a stinking hot day.
