Its the Ryde Queen and is still slowly rotting away half way up the river medina on the isle of wight.

I actually used to frequent it when it was a night club!!! in the 1980's.

Well its me again, should be heading on my way back to the Isle of Wight in late July again. From what my pictures of the crane showed up on my last trip the yard with the crane in is still in use but I have no idea what company owns this. I have tried several companies which are on Thetis Road; got one reply back which is actually a company nextdoor who have told me there shouldn't be a problem getting close to it; but still I'd rather ask! Can anyone tell me who owns the yard in question?

[balacau]

Isle of Wight is somewhere I've always wanted to visit for one reason or another and in August I'm finally getting that chance, spending a few days there. One of the major things which I hope to see isn't what most people would even glance at - its the large black crane seen in the last few seconds of this movie clip. Apart from that I hope to do a bit of travelling around the island as well as on the Medina river.

Did you get to visit the Island?

If so, what did you think of the crane?

[balacau]

Hi there; I did indeed visit the island after a 9 hour bus ride from Newcastle. I was impressed by how friendly the people were who I spoke to (random strangers etc). Took a harbour pilot boat up river as far as a quarry and back down again to get a good look at the crane. I just hope someone raises the cash to preserve it looks well rusted/ravaged by the elements which isn't good. Perfect holiday for me, I really like the quiet life!

Thanks for the reply :)

Glad you had a good time.

If you want to know more about the crane and havn't already done so then google COWES CRANE to see lots of info about it.

Unfortunately its in danger of being pulled down due to area redevelopment.

[balacau]

Yeh some family trust company has submitted 3 proposals, one of which to preserve it for something like a working museum exhibit, will cost around £750k though. The other 2 ideas were to scrap it. It has a Grade II listed structure rating, but that doesnt garuntee its safety. I am looking for information, but thats measurements of the crane. COmpany who built it are still in business but they dont make cranes anymore.

Used to cycle along there when I was a kid. Moved away from the Island now.
