James Watt Dock Crane


The James Watt Dock Crane is a giant cantilever crane situated at Greenock on the River Clyde.

History

It was built in 1917 by Sir William Arrol & Co. It was rated to lift, and is a category A listed structure. Apart from an adjacent derelict mobile Smith Rodley, it is the only crane left in the dock after the yards were cleared for redevelopment.
The crane was used for the fitting out of ships.
