Hand Crane HFF

Hand Crane HFF
A hand powered crane used to load and unload ships berthed on the tidal quays, The River Parrett was navigable, with care, by 400-to-500-tonne (390-to-490-long-ton) vessels.

High tides occur every 12 hours therefore the link for Sight and Sound is the slightly risky "Twice Daily" by Somerset's own Adge Cutler and the Wurzels from 1966, www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYaBsLcnoz0,

SV1XV, Berny, Frans Schols, Smiley Derleth and 35 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thank you, probably look no different than it does today, they chose the cheapskate option and missed a great opportunity as always.
