- Summary
- Babcock and Wilcox synopsis: This item describes the erection of a 30-ton Babcock level-luffing jib crane at the Neptune shipyard of Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson, Newcastle-on-Tyne, this being one of the tallest cranes in this famous shipbuilding centre. A floating crane lifts the machinery house and then the massive jib into position, a job made ticky by a high wind, and finally the crane is seen in operation - a new and prominent landmark on the Tyneside skyline.
