Two more trucks wait their turn to be loaded

The device is swung aboard
... and lowered toward the next tower section
Workers grab the cables from the device
... and attach them to the section to be lifted
We are ready for lift-off using just one crane
The tower section is lifted from the ship's deck
... and swung around
... to clear the middle crane
Wide view as the section is hoisted from the deck
... still coming
Being swung parallel to the ship and waiting truck

The front of the tower rests on the ledge where the man is

The cranes will lift the section from the truck
A worker hooks the crane's cable to the tower section

The section is lifted and the truck moves away

The now-empty truck goes back for more
The section is held just off the ground
A forklift fits a special "saddle" under the tower
... and another one at the other end of the section
... and the tower section is lowered onto the ground
