a general term for a crane used on a waterfront, shipyard, dock structure for loading, building or repairing ships and boats. It is not a specific type like say, Hammerhead, Hammerheads were used on docks not so much now but in active building yards- yes.

How do harbor cranes work?

Harbor cranes operate by using a combination of pulleys, cables, and hydraulic systems to lift and move heavy cargo containers and other loads. The crane's arm, or boom, can extend and retract, allowing it to reach different positions over the dock or vessel. Operators control the crane from a cab, using levers and controls to maneuver the load with precision. The crane's stability is ensured by a strong base and counterweights, which balance the weight of the lifted cargo.
