The shipyard no longer exists, but the crane is still there.
It has been transformed into a popular tourist attraction and beautifully illuminated at night.
On a clear evening one can see the mighty cantilever crane from miles away.
The dock was used for fitting out vessels, and the crane would lift engines and boilers into ships.
It could lift 160 tons when built and was upgraded to 203 tons in 1938.
During the First World War, the shipyard was almost exclusively occupied in building warships.
By the end of the war it had built more destroyers than any other British shipyard.
The shipyard was sold off again to a French company in 1980.
The new owners closed the yard in 2001.
The historic Titan Clydebank was restored in 2007 and turned into a unique attraction.
A new flight of stairs and a lift was installed.
The lift shaft was punctured with tall windows to provide spectacular glimpses of the existing structure during ascent.
HMS Repulse is being fitted at John Brown & Co shipyard at Clydebank in 1916.
