Massive crane
The crane in this picture, which was at the far end of these tracks when the photo was taken--but which moves rapidly along the tracks when needed--is said to be the largest in the Western Hemisphere, weighing in at 1,050 metric tons. It was built specifically for the Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding facility in Newport News, Va.
