Titan, better known by its former nickname Herman the German (US Navy designation YD-171), is a large floating crane currently serving in the Panama Canal performing heavy lifts for lock maintenance. Prior to its move to Panama in 1996, the crane was based at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard from the end of World War II until the yard's closure in 1995. It was seized from the German Kriegsmarine following the end of World War II as part of war reparations. The crane was built by Demag Cranes AG as Schwimmkran nr. 1 in 1941 for the Kriegsmarine, where it had served in the Baltic Sea tending German U-boats.MMSI number: 374940000

  • Titan ist der heutige Name eines Schwimmkrans der Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP, panamaische Kanalbehörde), der vor allem unter dem Spitznamen Herman the German bekannt ist. Ursprünglich wurde er von der deutschen Kriegsmarine im Zweiten Weltkrieg als einer von vier baugleichen Kränen genutzt. Bei seiner Inbetriebnahme zählte der Kran zu den leistungsstärksten seiner Art. Die US Navy nutzte den Kran nach Kriegsende unter der Bezeichnung 350T GERCRANE (YD 171) bis 1994. (de)
