Located near to the disused lighthouse, this is one of two old capstans on the East Pier at Whitby in North Yorkshire, England.

It would then be rotated clockwise by four men pushing on the levers; this would wind a hauling rope, cable or hawser around the drum. A simple ratchet system at the bottom of the drum held the tension and prevented run-back. Sailing ships that were battling against rough seas could be hauled into the harbour using one or more capstans.
