Mr Noel Olson, a Lyttelton Harbour Board crane driver, who spent yesterday undoing the work his father, Mr Alan Olson, started 45 years ago. Mr Olson is helping with the dismantling and scrapping of one of the board’s ageing Clyde cranes, one of the cranes his father assembled on the Lyttelton waterfront when it arrived in parts from Britain in 1939. The Clyde crane on the No. 3 wharf is the second of four to be scrapped as part of the board’s regrouping of its crane facilities. Five Smith Rodley cranes, bought by the board in 1964, will be moved from Cashin Quay to several inner-harbour wharves.
