    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Looks like I'm getting disinformation. I hate it when you search something that's incorrect and get pages on the incorrect entry anyway.

    Just after World War I, a 350-ton capacity hammerhead crane was ordered for the yard. Manufactured in 1919 by the McMyler-Interstate Company in Bedford, Ohio, the crane was called the League Island Crane by its builder. Weighing 3,500 tons, the crane was shipped to the yard in sections, and it was the world's largest crane at the time. The "League Island Crane" was for many years the Navy's largest crane.

    Nope, don't remember the Hiroshima bomb either.
    Remember this one? The bow of the oil tanker landed a mile away.

    It wasn't that long ago. I remember being able to see it rising above the trees, while driving NE on Red Bank Ave. in National Park. That was around 1962. I forget when it was removed.

    I worked near the Airport when the tanker blew up (not there when it actually happened) and went to see the big bow that had separated from the ship and landed a mile away with some co workers. My dad worked at the Atlantic refinery where it happened but he wasn't there during the explosion either.
