I seen this and had to stop and get a burger and look at that thing closer. About a minute after I seen clouds lighting up up the distance. I wouldn't want to be operating that on such a day.
It had to be thirty stories high. This isn't quite half of it..

We sometimes hire big cranes in the UK too.

Yes that's an impressive crane.
There are currently more cranes in the air here than in any country. Its booming.

LOL in our Dutch counterpart of this site we have a thread on this topic. Ours are bigger 😈
I'm not some kind of crane expert or anything, but the biggest cranes in the world seem to be near an ocean. I live next to a great lake.
And well, I like cranes. Its the height of some cranes I'm not a great fan of lol. Strange I like rollercoasters though.
Should we contrast and compare coasters next? https://www.canadaswonderland.com/rides-experiences/leviathan

I'm merely a messenger here, and not calling anyone out 🤔

Kinda. One of the members works in the off- and onshore industry and treats us every now and then.
I forgot to point out that the one linked to in post 3 is a mother crane as it has baby cranes all around it.
Makes our 100 tonne one look like a baby
I live in an apartment by the old dock and this crane is kept running to lift out the 90 tonne lock gates for maintenance. Gets used occasionally for lifting boats too

Just another seniors brain fart moment, there was also the Lafarge cement barge that ran aground in Esquimalt Harbour during a storm last November. Yeah, that was successfully extricated a week or so later, and deconstruction of the English Bay wreck - which took some big toys to accomplish - has apparently been completed after over a year on the beach. It became for a while a tourist photo attraction.

From afar for perspective and a shot from some guy driving while taking pics. Doesn't he know that's dangerous?
The barge was deemed to be a total constructive loss, and despite an attempt to refloat it, the barge could not be towed away. As such, it was determined that the barge would be deconstructed on-site in sections by the contractor appointed by the barge owner's representative, Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. (VanPile).Nov 24, 2022

Yes that one lol. I can't imagine the cost for clean up after a tsunami. I was watching barges similar and full size ships washed inland in Japan by a tsunami, many many of them. It made them look like toys.
An average large barge 5-600 tons?
I wonder what that works out to in scrap value. I would resell the drives of course 🤔. Heck some props go for the cost of a house's value, and not a small house.
Maybe they want to move it intact, thats why it sat For so long. A large enough dredge could get that sea bound in an hour or two?
I have not counted how many times I was nearly taken out on my street bike by people on their phone. But its more than a few. 🙁
