Description
Isle port crane destroyed...an 800-foot freighter rammed into this $1.3 million container crane on Pier 10 at the Port of Galveston, Texas. No one was hurt, but the port will be unable to handle container cargo for at least a year, and the replacement cost may be $2.5 million. The Stella Lykes hit the dock and toppled the crane while docking Tuesday. See related story, section 1, Page 1.
