EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1895, showcases the Great Crane at Woolwich Arsenal in south east London. Woolwich was a significant military hub during the late 19th century, with the majority of heavy guns for the Royal Navy and light guns for the British Army being manufactured here. The enormous quantity of miscellaneous war material was stored in the Arsenal, making it a hive of activity. The Great Crane, a marvel of engineering, can be seen in the foreground, resting in the marshy land between Greenwich and Gravesend. The crane, with its towering height and intricate machinery, was an essential component of the Arsenal's operations. The crane's cogwheels and chains were used to lift and move heavy sections of guns and other war material. The interior of the Arsenal was a bustling scene of activity, with men working manually to load and unload the massive guns and other equipment. The cogs and wheels of the crane were turned by a team of workers, who operated the machinery with precision and skill. The photograph captures the industrious spirit of the workers, who played a crucial role in the production and storage of the British military's arsenal. The Great Crane was a testament to the technological advancements of the time and the importance of Woolwich Arsenal in the British military's operations. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of this essential military facility during the 1890s.
