Logistics on a Grand Scale!

Components for the largest wind turbines on the east coast arrived in Gloucester and to get a sense on how large these are going to be check out the 160'long blades! With a finished diameter of 328' mounted on a hub over 300' off the ground imagine a football field spinning from the 50 yard line a football field high! And below a comparison on how big these three turbines truly are: Barge with support tower components. Another view. Old Glory Crane at Varian with trailer counter weights attached! Spectators on the Fish Pier check out the huge blades. Lobster boat "Josephine & Samantha". Passing by huge blade. "Angela Rose" passes by. Moving the trailer into position with help from the crane. Lifting blade #2. Two cranes carefully swing the huge blade. Workers lower the blade. More spectators. >
