Top Heavy?

Found this crane on Wellington's water front and thought it might be of interest to someone, the steam crane "Hikitia".
Looks top heavy but seems that it can lift OK

Seen it. Amazing how it floats upright.
Wouldn't want to be on it when its lifting any sort of weight.

If you think that is big, then have a look at some of the new rig boats fitted with 500t + cranes.

I gave you FOUR links which have pictures and the history of the boat. Do a search on HIKITIA and you will find that there are other links.
