The Finnieston Crane, also known as the Stobcross Crane, is an iconic landmark located on the north bank of the River Clyde in Glasgow, United Kingdom. This impressive structure is a colossal cantilever crane, historically used for loading heavy machinery, such as steam locomotives, onto ships for export. Erected in 1931, the crane stands approximately 175 feet tall and remains one of the few remaining symbols of Glasgow's rich industrial heritage.
