Description
Tubular jib crane, dating to around 1865, re-sited to its present location in 1901.
MATERIALS: wrought iron plates.
PLAN: a curved jib sunk into circular hole in the quayside with a deep, straight counterweight secured to the base of the quayside.
DESCRIPTION: the crane has a curved (‘swan-neck’) box-section jib of riveted wrought-iron plates. At its base are the original gearing cogs, cable drum and brake, partially enclosed by iron-plate safety covers. Beneath is a later small electric motor. The hoist cable is fed over the top of the jib on guiding wheels to the hook suspended from the apex.
