I saw all these giant cranes (many more than the
six that fit in this photo's field of view) in the distance,
constantly traveling this way and that. I wondered what they were doing
and how such towering machines could move around so smoothly. |

When I got closer I saw that the cranes were
constructing giant ships. But I still didn't know how they were able to
move about because there was a wall around the shipyard and I couldn't
see over it. Finally we found a man that let us climb up a rusty set of
stairs to the roof so we could see over. It turns out the cranes roll
around on railroad tracks. To get a sense of scale, see the man and the
bicyle rider at the base of the crane. This is one of the smaller cranes. |
