A historic steam-driven shunting crane stands on the former western quay in the southern part of Bremerhaven’s Old Harbour. Built in 1939/40 by Orenstein & Koppel AG in Lübeck, this dockyard crane was used at the Kurt Bartels yachtyard in Elsfleth until 1972. Powered by a horizontal reversible twin-cylinder steam engine, it could lift up to 3 tonnes, reach 6 meters, and rotate a full 360 degrees — a fascinating piece of maritime industrial heritage.

It's easy to get away from the more touristic areas of Porto. The peaceful view is a few minutes from Clerigos tower.

Escalators! (3 of them up a very steep street); Escadas do Monte dos Judeus.

On the coast at Matosinhos, the award winning Terminal de Cruzeiros. A million tiles - fish scales glinting in the sun.

And next to it, O Titan, a restored steam crane from 1890.

Happy to be here.
