Titan Clydebank, Cantilever crane in Clydebank, Scotland.
The Titan Clydebank stands 150 feet tall on the River Clyde, featuring a steel structure with a fixed counterweight and electrically operated hoists for lifting equipment.
Built in 1907 as the first electrically powered cantilever crane, the structure assisted in constructing major vessels including the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth ocean liners.
The crane received Category A Listed status in 1988, placing it at the same protection level as Edinburgh and Stirling Castles in Scottish heritage rankings.
Visitors can access the crane from May to September on weekends, reaching the site via regular train services from Glasgow to Clydebank Station.
The structure survived the Clydebank Blitz of 1941 without damage, while the surrounding industrial area experienced extensive destruction during the air raids.
