    A true reference to the city of its industrial era. It is the only one left standing, and its history is very beautiful. In front of the shipyards there was a pier to cross the estuary. Every afternoon, a beautiful young woman from Deusto named Carola crossed the estuary by boat to go to work in the Plaza del Sdo. Heart, and to do so he had to cross the Euskalduna facilities. The workers awaited their arrival and, sounding the factory sirens, accompanied them as they passed. In tribute to this beautiful woman, they named the crane after her. The Carola crane remained active until the closure of the Euskalduna Shipyards in 1987.

    (Translated by Google) It is a pleasure to go for a walk along the banks of the Ria and rest for a moment on one of the comfortable benches there. Today I have done it in front of the very veteran at the same time splendid crane Karola (Original) Es un placer salir a pasear por la orilla de la Ria y descansar un momento en uno de los cómodos bancos que hay. Yo hoy lo he hecho frente a la veteranisima al mismo tiempo espléndida grúa Karola
