The European E-Faith group (The European Federation of Associations of Industrial and Technical Heritage ) which studies industrial heritage throughout the EU is seeking assistance to document the harbour cranes which exist throughout the member states of the Council of Europe, via a new website ‘Harbourcranes.eu’
E-Faith writes:
The E-FAITH steering group on historic cranes is now building a web-database on historic harbour cranes in Europe. This database will include general information and documentation about cranes, and – most important – a list of cranes used at maritime as well as inland harbours, and on canals and river banks.
Information on the Cranes steering group
May we ask you to send us photos and details on cranes that you know existing in one of the member states of the Council of Europe (larger than the EU). Guidelines and a questionnaire which you can use can be downloaded
Don’t hesitate to send us some photographs and information about the location of the cranes – even submissions that aren’t complete have their value, as they will put them on the agenda.
Many thanks for your collaboration.
The first tests of the cranes database are now online
