For centuries, people built Europe's tallest cathedrals... without a single engine.

Massive stone blocks had to be lifted higher and higher as the buildings grew.

There were no hydraulic cranes.

No diesel engines.

No electricity.

Yet the construction never stopped.

The secret wasn't hidden in the sky...

It was hidden inside a giant wooden wheel.

As two workers stepped inside...

They began to walk.

The ropes tightened.

Slowly...

A stone weighing several tons left the ground.

The crane was about to lift a structure heavier than many skyscrapers... over open ocean.

For months, engineers prepared for a single moment.

A massive offshore platform had to be removed from the North Sea.

There was no easy option.

Cutting it apart would take weeks of dangerous offshore work.

So engineers chose a different path...

Lift the entire structure in one operation.

As the giant crane vessel moved into position, the lifting equipment connected to the platform below.

The weather window was limited.

The calculations had to be perfect.

Because once the lift began...

There was no second chance.

This crane helped move more than metal — it moved a symbol of freedom.

In the middle of World War I, one of America's most important symbols had to be moved across the country.

A crane made it possible.
