In pictures: Giant crane squeezes under Forth bridges
THE UK's biggest crane passed under the Forth bridges today on its way to Rosyth - but only just.
It will help assemble Britain's two new aircraft carriers at the Fife naval base.
Goliath, which cost about 12 million and is 68 metres high, left its construction site in Shanghai on December 17 on the deck of a specialist transport vessel.
The two carriers are being built in sections at six ship yards across the UK before being assembled by Babcock at Rosyth.
