Elliott Erwitt
SCOTLAND. 2011. Kromer Hat and Titan Crane, Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire. The Kromer Hat sculpture by Sue Jane Taylor portrays a welder and honours the shipyard workers of Clydebank's past. Some 150ft tall, the Titan Crane (originally used to fit out the heavier parts of a ship like the engine turbines and artillery) was the first giant cantilever crane to be electrically powered. It is the only "A-listed" structure in Clydebank, as much of the town was destroyed in the Clydebank Blitz of 1941. The crane and shipyard were major targets as they were heavily involved in the production of battleships, but were somehow missed during the bombings.
