I'm trying to figure out if I was on that job.Pearson and Torresdale Ave in N.E. Phila. This was taken back in 2009. One of your W2200's was loading it.

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is anyone here familiar with, or do you remember the old Hammerhead Crane that was at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard? It was at one time one of the most powerful cranes in the world- was used to lift superstructures of ships and other shipbuilding purposes. It was torn down in 1995 or 1996 I want to say- when I was a firefighter at the PNSY Fire Dept. They used another crane to lift a bobcat with a pecker up into the main structure of the crane to break up the concrete counterweight. It was a huge project that took a few months to complete. I have pictures somewhere.......need to find them and scan them. Couldnt be too obvious taking pics though as cameras were verboten in the area, but since the majority of the yard was shut down, the rule was kinda bent a bit.EDIT: here's a link to some pics of it.http://www.google.com/search?q=hammerhead+crane+philadelphia&hl=en&tbo=u&qscrl=1&rlz=1T4ACGW_enUS412US412&site=webhp&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Yq8OUYSADuSE0QGpyoDYAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDYQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=543 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27737-the-philly-construction-thread/page/5/#findComment-161620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got sent down to the naval yard with a few loads of 2A crushed concrete that was being used to help sink an old ship. It was really neat to get to see all that stuff up close. It happened to be like 100 degrees out that day and those poor guys were sweating their asses off working in that ship.
