Hog Island Cranes, Historical industrial cranes in Trenton, US
The Hog Island Cranes consist of two locomotive steam gantry structures measuring 40 feet in height along the Delaware River waterfront in Trenton.
Built in 1917 by McMyler-Interstate Company of Cleveland, these cranes operated at the Hog Island shipyard in Philadelphia during World War I ship production.
The National Register of Historic Places includes these cranes as representations of commercial, engineering, and industrial advancements in 20th-century America.
The cranes extend 1,700 feet along tracks near Trenton's southern border, with each structure maintaining a 15-ton lifting capacity specification.
Purchased as government surplus in 1930 for $5,000, these cranes relocated to the Trenton Marine Terminal in 1932 where they remain as industrial landmarks.
