The crane in there is not the Farrell 256, which has some red-colored elements at the top of the crane. Rather that is a crane of Seaward Marine , of which I have found almost nothing. I think it's the same one as seen in this video, but I'm not entirely sure. That video showed a marking of "OLM-0026" on it , with the name "Olmsted" in smaller type below it (and something following I can't make out) but I can't find anything under that name online. I think the yellow crane in some shots is working alongside this one (that video has a similar one, which is just a regular mobile crane driven onto a barge).

I've moved it back to Category:Crane barges. I've also had difficulty finding information on the crane barges. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 14:30, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Clindberg I've been able to find the barge that the smaller yellow crane is on. According to [1] it's the Hughes Marine Firms "Hughes 2001" under contract to Seward with a Liebherr crane on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1bfrpYZecg&t=77 has a LR 1300 SX model number visible, which matches the 330 ton crane mentioned in [2]. Not sure how to best express that in category form. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AntiCompositeNumber Wow, well done. I created Category:Hughes 2001 (ship, 2004). Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Clindberg Looks like the Army Corps had a blue 60' Manitowoc platform ringer crane on a barge at their Olmstead, Illinois project but auctioned it off a few years ago. https://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/2020/03/usace-had-two-60-ringer-cranes.html has some pictures, unfortunately the GSA auction is a dead link. That page has a comment saying that they removed the crane from the original barge, but [3] shows them also auctioning a bunch of barges off too. No idea what Seaward calls the barge, crane, or barge-crane assembly though. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 21:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That must be it. The auction site is here; those photos would be {{PD-USGov-GSA}}. The auction stated the barge was not included, but given that "Olmsted Dam" is the most likely inscription I saw, you do wonder (or as you say, maybe also bought the barge separately, or switched to one they did buy). That would also explain why I can't find much under that old name, since government ships don't need to be registered anywhere, and it may not really be the name. It must have a name now though. Seems like the crane is from 1978, but finding the barge... may be harder. But more to search for, thanks. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello AntiCompositeNumber, I see that you're a Commons admin, could you help me double check if this photo qualifies for public domain? I believe it is a screenshot from one of the copies of this video. Thank you. Starship.paint (talk) 14:50, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
