Zurich's Deep - Sea Port


Just go along to Limmatquai, next to Cafe Rathus. The first thing you'll see is a huge, rusty dockside rusty crane.  But we must admit, Zurich's maritime connection is only temporary.  The rusty hulk will be here until 2015.But it has caused a lot of excitement. The city parliament and local radios and  newspapers were flooded with debate on this art installation.
The organizers wanted the crane to pop-up unexpectedly, stir up Zurich and disappear again. But there was
a conservative uproar over the city spending 6000,000Sfr for an old crane, and every detail was fought over.  So by the time the crane or Hafenkran appeared  this April - all 90 tonnes of it, towering 30 metres tall - it couldn't surprise anyone.  But who cares. Now you casn smell the ocean breeze and dream of the seven seas in the heart of Zurich.  And you might also hear a huge ship's horn from somewhere.  It's part of the
installation too.
