Origin[]

This Davit, or lifeboat crane was blown off the Britanic after she was destroyed by a mine. Originally designed as a cruise ship for the White Star Line, she was convereted into a hospital ship at the outbreak of the First World War. Designed for safety in response to the sinking of sister ship Titanic, the thickre hulls and large number of lifeboats saved most of the occupants when it sank.

Effects[]

Saddened by the loss of people aboard herself and her sister the Titanic, this davit developed a desire to make sure such a tragedy never occured again. Therefore, in the moment of a disaster, it activates all emergency protocals (in the case of the Warehouse, it sends an emergency alert to the computer in the main office) and convinces everyone to drop what they're doing and begin evacuation. Is stored aboard the RMS Olympic along with the Driftwood from the RMS Titanic in order to help the ship's depression over the loss of her sisters.
