In the first week of September, the turbine arrived from Vancouver and was moored at Pearson College.
-
-
It was cradled on a barge built specifically as a service vessel.
-
-
The vessel is named the Lena Marie after the wife of Barry Davis, the original designer.
-
-
On Sept 15 , the turbine was taken to the outer part of the bay for its first sea trial.
