Our crews captured video of the impressive fire overnight as crews worked to get it under control.
We do not know the cause of the fire, but the good news in all of this was no one was hurt.
A second alarm was pulled by firefighters because it was a heavy machine that caught fire.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire with the help of a fire boat that pulled up along the ship channel.
The charred remains of the crane can now be seen at the center.
Arson investigators are hoping to piece together what happened.
