River Clyde, Clydebank
Titan Clydebank, more commonly known as the Titan Crane is a 150-foot-high (46 m) cantilever crane at Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was designed to be used in the lifting of heavy equipment, such as engines and boilers, during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard. It was also the world's first electrically powered cantilever crane, and the largest crane of its type at the time of its completion.
Situated at the end of a U-shaped fitting out basin, the crane was used to construct some of the largest ships of the 20th century, including the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2. The Category A Listed historical structure was refurbished in 2007 as a tourist attraction and shipbuilding museum. It is featured on the current Clydesdale Bank £5 note.

Site where the John Brown Shipyard stood, Clydebank
The O.R.P. Piorun played a crucial role during the Clydebank Blitz. On March 13, 1941, the Polish destroyer was docked at the John Brown Shipyard for repairs when Clydebank was subjected to a devastating Luftwaffe air raid1. The crew of the O.R.P. Piorun actively defended the town by firing upon enemy aircraft, helping to prevent further destruction and loss of life. Their valiant efforts were later commemorated with a plaque, in Solidarity Plaza, dedicated to the crew's bravery.
Additionally, this plaque was installed at the site where the John Brown Shipyard once stood, commemorating the shipyard's significant contributions and the historical events that took place there.

ORP Piorun was an N-class destroyer operated by the Polish Navy in World War II. The word piorun is Polish for "Thunderbolt". Ordered by the Royal Navy in 1939, the ship was laid down as HMS Nerissa before being loaned to the Poles in October 1940 while still under construction.
