Eriksberg Crane
The red Eriksberg crane stands above a former dry dock on the north riverbank. It is a short outdoor stop for understanding the scale of Gothenburg’s shipbuilding past.

Keep exploring Gothenburg with our travel partners.
The crane makes industrial history visible without needing a museum room. Its wide span and the dock beneath it show the dimensions of the ships once built here. Compare the retained structure with the housing and public waterfront around it to see how the former yard has become part of the present city.
