Summary

Description
English: The arrival of a Krupp 30.5 cm MRK L/35 gun Md 1880 in Port Mahon, and how it was transloaded from a ship to a railway track. Commander Captain of artillery D. Teodoro de Ugarte sent two photos by D. Juan Femenía, on which this engraving was based. Ugarte added the following information:

The material acquired for Mahon, at the Krupp factory, consists of: Two steel cannons 30.5 centimeters in caliber with a weight of 49 tons and a length of 10,700 meters; Two others of 26 centimeter caliber; a rotating crane of 80 tons capacity, And a transport cart to drag the cannons on portable railway track.

The engraving represents the situation of the crane in the moment when the 30.5 centimeter cannon has come to rest on the transport wheels and the railway track, previously placed at the dock. It is noteworthy that with that powerful crane eight men can move objects weighing 80,000 kilograms.
