It’s a period-unassigned dockside oddity that probably remembers the smell of fish and the sound of gulls screaming about their lunch. Count the crows, then count again. You’ll find
Explorer Tom Edinburgh, Leith Docks, Albert Dock, Hydraulic Crane and Cabin: The first owner’s escape plan involved a small boat and a lot of bad decisions that left this crane behind. It’s still standing there, wondering why nobody ever came back to finish the job. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Explorer Tom The Martello Tower in Wasteland is standing out there looking deeply unimpressed by your modern glass buildings. It’s got strong opinions on concrete and thinks you’re all just playing dress-up with history. It’s basically a lighthouse that forgot how to shine. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
