BIG!
Really BIG! Gloucester is about to receive what will be some of the biggest wind turbines in the country if not the world! One will be erected at Varian Semiconductor while the other two at Gloucester Engineering in the Blackburn Industrial Park. The two at Gloucester Engineering will supply 90% to 100% of the electrical needs of all city owned buildings! The turbines will be towering about 565' above sea level when completed! And to assemble something that big you need a big crane. The components have been shipped from Spain to Boston then are to be loaded on barges to Gloucester. I stopped by Cruiseport Gloucester as workers needed a big crane to assemble the larger crane!

This must be a mirage. Obviously such marine industrial activity cannot coexist on the same property as a waterfront restaurant.
...Yet it does along with unloading fish,boat yard work, a next door freezer warehouse and all its truck activity and now wind turbine logistics! Hey... if you're bored with who your dining with, there's always something going on to watch!
Damn, I should of come down with Kitty Kat. Thought I would be board?
Nice pictures Jay. You always bring home to me .
It is actually two turbines at GE and one at Varian :)
Thanks! I saw one under construction at Varian with a sign on another part of their property that read "2nd wind turbine location" I only saw one site at Gloucester Engineering being prepared but that could be for two.
