Stockton Corporation Wharf. The crane is arranged for hand power; such heavy loads as
20 tons had only occasionally to be lifted, and there
was already an ample supply of steam cranes for lighter
loads on the wharf. However it was arranged so that steam power could be fitted at a
future date if found desirable. The crane was capable
of lifting 20 tons at 30 ft. radius. <ref>[[Engineering 1893/04/07]]</ref>
