Snap StoriesThe Crane, Gdańsk, Poland
The Crane is a former port crane without which the port would not be able to function. Cranes were used to reload goods from ships to the quayside and vice versa. The first mentions of the Crane date back to the 14th century. It was a 100% wooden structure that burned down completely in a fire in 1442. In the same year, the reconstruction of the crane began, but this time as a brick and wooden structure. Over the following centuries, until the 19th century, the Crane was an essential element of the Gdańsk port. 200 years ago, it lost its function and was used, among other things, to put up masts or as a lift for boats that required repairs to their rudders and propellers. In the 19th century, the interior of the Crane housed, among other things, a hairdresser’s and a shoemaker’s shop.
In addition to its function as a crane, the Gdańsk Crane also served as a city gate. This day, it leads from Szeroka Street to Długie Pobrzeże.
