1. Northwest Cable Crane Marker
This cable crane and its "grab" were manufactured in 1959. They were used to grab, lift and load harvested sugar cane into haulers bound for the sugar mill. This crane was used by Pioneer Mill Company in Lahaina. Upon closure of that mill in 1999, the crane was donated to and transported by the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company in Puunene for restoration.
Erected by Sugar Museum.
