Breakwater Crane Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Douglas Breakwater Crane Railway was a massive self-propelled steam crane that ran the length of the original breakwater at Douglas, for the loading and unloading of vessels. The crane was owned by the Isle of Man Harbour Board and ran on 10 feet (3.05 m) gauge track, the broadest in the British Isles. It was in action until the 1970s.[1]
