Heres a good video clip of the Lidgerwood Steam winch up and running. Remember it was built in 1894 and purchased brand new by the Pacific Lumber company. They used it until 1936 in the forests here moving logs around. Then the Eureka Marine Salvage company bought it and used it until 1954 as a pile driver in Humboldt bay. Then it became a museum piece. But it still worked,,,I kept it in operational condition. All I had to do was put new wire rope cable onto the drums and it would have worked just fine.
