About the Scheldt Crane

About the Scheldt Crane

The Schelde Crane, a striking shipbuilding crane in Vlissingen's Schelde Quarter, is an impressive monument from the time when the Royal De Schelde Company thrived here. This crane, with a height of more than 60 meters, was used in building and repairing ships in the 1950s and was indispensable in the city's shipbuilding industry. With its sturdy construction and historical value, the crane has become a symbol of Vlissingen's maritime past. The Scheldt crane is a beloved landmark in Vlissingen's skyline and offers visitors a glimpse into its industrial history. Today, the crane serves as cultural heritage and is regularly included in walking routes through the Scheldekwartier. The monument is also an inspiration for events and art projects in the neighborhood, bringing the city's past back to life in a modern way.
