At the other end the railway connects to the slipway for launch and recovery. Given the investment in concrete and steel the systems must date back to times when the cranes and travel lifts with which we are so familiar were not available. It's a lovely piece of industrial heritage.

The Spanish proverb says something like "Hanger sharpens the wit"...Yes, lovely heritage, and even more lovely the fact that they keep it functional nowadays, as it seems.
