The second of two towering container cranes is transported by barge Wednesday to the State Ports Authority’s Wando Welch Terminal in Mount Pleasant from the Columbus Street Terminal in downtown Charleston. The other made the voyage Feb. 12. This 1,500-ton crane had about 15 feet of clearance as it passed under the Ravenel Bridge at low tide.
