About this control - Luffing crane
This level luffing crane was made by Stothert & Pitt Ltd of England in 1951. It is the only one left in Wellington and probably the last surviving example of its kind in the country. These cranes were once commonplace on the waterfront, from Queens Wharf to Aotea Quay.
