These accurately sized and highly detailed model cranes represent the large, conspicuous, Stothert & Pitt Ltd. cargo and baggage handling cranes of many merchant steamers such as Olympic class White Star liners RMS Titanic, RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic.  
 
Titanic and Olympic were equipped with eight electric cargo and baggage handling cranes made by Stothert and Pitt, Ltd. of Bath. Six of the cranes were rated for 50 cwt (2.5 tons).  Two each of these were located on the forward well deck, the aft well deck and the poop deck.  Two additional cranes were rated for 30 cwt (1.5 tons). These two had smaller operator platforms more rectangular in shape than the platforms of the 2.5-ton cranes and were mounted on smaller diameter cylindrical handling rooms.  These two 1.5-ton cranes were located on the A Deck Promenade, aft.
