#Chain Irvine Harbour Crane
Irvine harbour dates back to the 17th century when the river Irvine changed its course. A timber quay was built with locally built (William Morgan of Kilwinning) rail mounted cranes in the early 20th century. The wharf remained in use till the 1980's and is now in the care of The Scottish Maritime Museum. The crane stands idle now but appears to be able to resume its former duties if required.
