A gantry is a crane system that manoeuvres over the top of a ship in the dockyard carrying materials and workers to the heights and depths of building ships. The Titanic's monstrous 220 foot Gantries were custom built. She took 62 seconds, and 25 tons of grease and soap to move down the slipway and enter Belfast Harbor.
