The United Kingdom's largest crane arrived in Scotland on Thursday, 3 March 2011 sailing under the Forth Bridges on its way to Rosyth Dockyard.
The crane – known as ‘Goliath’ - will be used to assemble the blocks of two new Royal Navy aircraft carriers, Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales.
It arrived in the Firth of Forth following a 14,000-nautical-mile sea voyage to the Fife base.
At 68 metres high, the crane is taller than the Wallace Monument.
Its passage up the Firth of Forth required precise timing so the vessel and its cargo could pass under the bridges at low tide.
The crane, which cost £12.2m ($20m) and took two years to build, will be used by Babcock International in the assembly of the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers at Rosyth.
It has a span of 120 metres to cover the construction area of the aircraft carriers and has the capacity to lift 1000 tonnes.
The crane left its construction site in Shanghai, China, on 17 December 2010 on the deck of a specialist crane transport vessel.
