The Douglas Breakwater Crane Railway was a massive self-propelled steam block-setting crane, with a capacity of 15 tons, built by Stothert & Pitt of Bath^[1] that ran the length of the original breakwater at Douglas, also used for the loading and unloading of vessels.

A later crane was built by Cowans, Sheldon of Carlisle (capacity 25 tons^[which?]; carried on two four-wheel bogies; Works number 9057 of 1948 to Drawing 18087). The crane was owned by the Isle of Man Harbour Board and ran on 10 ft (3,048 mm) gauge.^[2]
