A deck contraption

[Lawrence P. Cappe]

There seems to be some swinging metallic contraption that obstructs every clear view of the sliding doors exiting the Verandah cafe (port side on A deck).

Can you identify this item and name its purpose please?

Possibly you have in mind the structure which (I think) is intended to secure the crane jib in its fully lowered position.
