Beardmore Crane, Hammerhead crane in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

The Beardmore Crane stands at the former naval shipbuilding yard in Dalmuir, featuring a cantilever design for wide-range lifting operations over water.

The crane operated from 1903 to 1972 at Beardmore's Naval Shipbuilding Yard, supporting the construction of military vessels during both World Wars.

This engineering structure represents the industrial heritage of Clydeside, where shipbuilding shaped the development of West Dunbartonshire communities.

Located at coordinates 55°54'24.08"N, 4°25'53.18"W, the crane remains visible from the Clydeside Community Park and surrounding walking paths.

The crane's design influenced maritime engineering worldwide, establishing new standards for shipyard operations in the early 20th century.
