The last port crane with steam power shines in fresh blue after the restoration. Booms, steam boilers, turning and lifting mechanisms are derusted and protected for the next decades.

The steam crane that stands in front of the Schifferbörse in Ruhrort is more than a hundred years old. It is said to be the only surviving crane of its kind in Germany.
