Visiting John Browns Clydebank in 2023

Until I read this, I hadn't realised the Titan crane hasn't been open for years now. What a shame.

Nice article about the general area and its ship building history, but what a shame about the Titan Crane!

That is indeed a shame - they looked after us well when we visited on our QE2 Anniversary Conference charter in 2017.
Incidentally I am hearing that the Clyde Clipper (the vessel we chartered that day) has been sold out of the Clyde Marine fleet.

More sad news...

Having also been on the 2017 charter visit  - and having lost my camera and photos later that same night - it would be a great shame if the Titan Crane does not reopen again in the future although it is not clear if a definite decision has been made on this - many attractions have taken a long time to reopen after COVID - such as HMS Caroline in Belfast which only reopened again  this week.

Hopefully the Titan can rise again?
