The color postcard above shows the two gantry cranes that belong to the TLCPA, “Big Lucas” and “Little Lucas”
From the back of the postcard: Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s two heavy-lift gantry cranes. “Little Lucas” can load 72.5 tons onto the deck of a ship and 56 tons into its hold. “Big Lucas” can lift 110 tons on the deck and 80 tons into the hold. The two giant gantries can also work in tandem.
