THE BIG LIFT

THE BIG LIFT. A 500-ton crane lifts onto a barge at Deep Cove in Eastport the 96-000-pound base support frame for Ocean Renewable Power Company's first grid-connected, commercial TidGen Power System. The frame was moved onto the barge by Perry Marine & Construction workers on March 18 and was taken to the site for the tidal turbine and placed on the sea floor between North Lubec and Goose Island on March 20.
