And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's huge! Biggest I worked with, were 110 and 125 ton cranes in San Diego. Working in the ship yards convinced me it would be safer self employed as a tree guy. I did have a near death experience, a time or few, ship yards and trees. That's why I can predict the weather with my aching body.
I think this is the Sleipner, a semi-submersible, dynamically positioned crane barge. They use this for offshore heavy lifts, normally installing the topsides of production platforms. With a crane like this, you can install a full-sized production facility including living quarters, in a single lift. If you're unimpressed, then bear in mind that the Sleipner has two 10,000 MT cranes to choose from.
