Lots of Wind Turbine Blades

Taking the Red Jet out of Southampton took us past the other ships in the harbour and that included this vessel that was loaded up with blades for wind turbines. These blades are massive and having this many on one vessel was impressive. I don’t know whether this is for transporting them to other countries or is to take them offshore to be installed but it is a chunky boat. While the ship was the first thing that caught my eye, I then realised how many blades were sitting on the dockside behind it. The engineer in me would love to spend a bit of time having a look around that location!
