Giant floating crane departs West Seattle waterfront for regional marine projects
A towering presence that defined the West Seattle shoreline along Elliott Bay has pulled up its moorings and headed back to work. The Pacific Titan, recognized as the largest floating shear-leg crane stationed on the U.S. West Coast, has departed its anchorage just off Harbor Avenue SW. For months, the colossal vessel sat moored in the Pier 1 area between Jack Block Park and Salty’s on Alki, drawing stares and camera clicks from waterfront walkers, commuters, and nearby residents.
