You could be forgiven if you can't quite place the location of this giant cantilever crane. This iconic structure can be found at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in the Port of Nagasaki, Japan. The Glasgow Electric Crane and Hoist Company designed the crane, which was manufactured and then erected on site in 1909 by the Motherwell Bridge Company. It has now been in constant use for 117 years.
