Removal of Panama Canal Titan

[edit]

I have removed all of the information regarding the "Panama Canal Titan" as it is an unrelated crane that happened to have the same name as the Australian crane for some of its career. The information was removed in this diff, and can be recovered from versions of the article prior to that edit. -- saberwyn 01:13, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That crane is now described at Herman the German (crane vessel). Andy Dingley (talk) 12:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

[edit]

The recent move was a bad one, as it went from Australian floating crane Titan to the very generic name Titan (crane). The trouble is that there are countless cranes called 'Titan', such as the Fairfield Titan and the Clydebank Titan. In particular, it's a name for the design of the generic hammerhead crane. Titan (crane) should be an article on the overall type, or at least a redirect to the existing brief section.

A new name is neede. Something that restores some indication of it being Australian and floating. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:57, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
