1879 - Railroad Steam Crane Traditional Cache

This cache brings you to a piece of history in Singapore. It is a Steam Crane build by John H Wilson and Company in Liverpool in 1879. This Harbour Steam Crane was used to hoist goods from ships and was to lift up 10 tonnes. It was installed in Albert Dock in 1879. It was originally coal driven but was converted to run on oil. The crane was decommissioned in 1983 and was preserved by the Maritime Museum.
