Essex Shipbuilding Museum Crane Pic From Bill O’Connor

Hey Joe,

When I stopped to snap a shot of the schooner Ardell skeleton today at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum, I came across this rusty, old, snow-covered gem.  While I was taking photos, a guy hanging around in the yard told me it used to be a school bus used in Essex back in the 50’s (circa ’54 or ’55).  They converted it into a crane and still use it around the yard. 

Enjoy~Bill O’Connor
