Former Cockerill shipyards site now is used for construction of wind turbines.
In times gone by ferries transported some of the 2500 mechanics of the shipyard and other(chemical)industry.
John Cockerill,an Englishman, was involved in steel industry in Belgium and the construction of the first trains here around 1830.
The Titan(logo half visible) gantry crane is 125 meter high!!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very nice exposure with good color and clarity. I see what looks like turbines being built in the background. We have thousands of turbines in operation in southern Alberta.
