Cranes: Weeks 533 C

Weeks 533 has performed what it was built for, repeatedly, on both coasts since the 1960s, as seen on her very own Wikipedia page here.  I’ve caught only a few of her notable lifts.

Truckable tug Tully Time III came out 

For 50+ year old crane barge, she looks great;  more importantly, she works great.

Her capacity of 500 tons was not approached yesterday as she landed the G-BOAD aircraft to the pier.

Below the large crane then known as Marine Boss worked on the San Diego-Coronado Beach Bridge

A notable local lift before this blog existed happened in Albany in 2003, where Weeks 533 and Chesapeake 1000 re-righted MV Stellamare here.  Click on the image for the date and permissions.
