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.

This 1895 photo looking down on the harbour at #Polkerris #Cornwall #UK
could’ve been taken yesterday, except fishing boat’s gone. Google Street View shows the main road into the village is still only a few inches wide 🙂

I used the #GMIC experimental grey descreen filter in #GIMP to make the scaled-down images for the Web.
