A port crane and a starboard cargo crane from the Titanic. There were eight rotating electric cranes built by Stothert and Pitt, Ltd on the ship. They served holds #3, #4, #5, and #6. The two cranes at #4 Hold were 30 cwt, ( 1.5 Ton capacity) the others were 50 cwt, (2.5 Ton capacity). These cranes were rigged in pairs, four on the port side and four on the starboard side. That way one could always plumb the pier and the hold regardless which side to they were berthed. #100 #1912 #cargo #crane #cranes #Deck #electric #First_Class #Hatch #Iceberg #interior #model #Olympic #Second_Class #ship #sinking #Third_Class #titanic #Titanic_deck #Titanic_interior #Titanic_model #Titanic_walkthrough #White_Star_Line
