Description

THE GREAT CRANE AT WOOLWICH.

Woolwich, as all the world knows, is the great Arsenal of the British Government. It lies in what was once the marsh-land on the right bank of the Thames between Greenwich and Gravesend. At Woolwich the majority of the heavy guns for the Navy and the light guns for the Army are manufactured ; and an enormous quantiiy of miscellaneous war material of every kind is also made and stored in the Arsenal. We here see one of the heavy breech-loading guns being lowered into its place on its carriage by the most powerful steam crane in the Arsenal. The monster 110-ton guns, which lor a brief period were in favour for naval purposes, are now no longer constructed, but guns of 67 tons and 50 tons are constantly handled by this powerful machine.
