It would seem to me that in very heavy seas the cranes could cause stability issues. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />They had to anchor off Drake's Bay North of the Golden Gate for a few days of high seas (surfers had come from as far as Australia to ride 30 foot waves nearby). The cranes are 240 feet tall crossing the ocean and have to be lowered somehow to 210 feet to clear the Bay Bridge. <br /> <br />Mast height of Tall Ships were near 200 feet, they must have been far more top heavy. I'd like to see them unload these things.
