Summary
[edit]DescriptionSamson or Goliath^ - geograph.org.uk - 1346325.jpg |
English: Samson or Goliath? A view of the massive gantry crane 'Goliath' from the gates leading to the Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries complex in Belfast. One of two gantry cranes over the H&W building dock, the other nicknamed 'Samson', it was constructed for the yard in 1969 by the German engineering firm Krupp. The crane stands 96m tall, has a span of 140m and can lift loads of up to 840 tonnes to a height of 70m. Although designed for the purposes of shipbuilding, H&W are no longer involved in this industry and are now concentrating on offshore renewable energies contracts as well as ship repair and servicing. See 6679594 and 6679600 for some related images.
Both the OS and Google maps show this as a view along Hamilton Road, but this is pretty much out-of-bounds as it runs into and across the Harland & Wolff complex and the road technically ceased to exist as a through pass when work began on the building dock in the late 1960s. The H&W security guards have been known to be not too happy with photographers. See also 749743. |
