Notes
  • Significance: Bridge Gantry Crane BG-1, along with a similar crane BG-2, were key tools that facilitated the successful construction of Dry Dock Nos. 2,3, and 4 at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base. BG-1 and BG-2 were skillfully integrated into the construction process and were the primary means of constructing and placing all forms, and the primary means of carrying concrete buckets to the tremie rigs.
  • Survey number: HAER HI-68-C
