About this work

This print shows a huge crane lifting parts of a ship in a harbor. Dark smoke curls from its stack. The ship’s hull gleams under the sky. Pennell drew this while in London during World War I, using German tools. He often showed industry at work, not just finished products. See it in person at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
