is it true these pair are listed ?

Does anyone know which of the cranes is which? I know their names, but am oblivious to which one is Samson and which one is Goliath. As in which is the one closest to the sea, and which is the one closest to the city. 62.6.163.133 (talk) 02:07, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Goliath is the one to the cityside, Samson the one to the seaside. Regards, 212.23.103.118 (talk) 03:43, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This page links to an article on the Big Blue Crane, however, I'm not sure it's the correct reference. Among the maritime world, I believe Big Blue refers to a crane at Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia. Unfortunately, the NNS article does not make reference to the crane, though it is featured in the gallery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_News_Shipbuilding#Gallery) and is shown in the corporate fact sheet (http://nns.huntingtoningalls.com/who-we-are/facilities-and-capabilities/). I don't want to edit the article without a nod from other authors, as I can't tell original intent, and there's no good place to link to at this point.
