Barclay Curle Crane, Harbour crane in Whiteinch, Glasgow, Scotland.
The Barclay Curle Crane stands 150 feet tall on the north bank of the River Clyde, featuring a cantilever design for heavy lifting operations.
Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol & Co, this Category A listed structure served the Barclay Curle shipyard during Glasgow's maritime manufacturing period.
The crane represents one of four remaining Titan structures on the River Clyde, demonstrating Scotland's industrial engineering achievements of the early 20th century.
The crane structure maintained a lifting capacity of 150 tonnes, enabling the movement of substantial ship engines from the workshop directly into vessels.
Among the 42 original Titan cranes constructed worldwide, this specimen belongs to the select group of four preserved on the River Clyde.
