Questions   Was this on the North or South breakwaters  Does any trace remain today  Presumably the crane was built as a blocksetting crane for construction and repair of the breakwater itself It is common for such cranes to be left in place afterwards  Was it ever used as a port crane for freight handling This would be unusual  such large cranes especially when steam powered where too inconvenient to last much past WWII and were nearly always ignored or replaced by electric cranes or road mobile cranes
