Crane to Excavator on the Jetty
Once the stone scowl is loaded with stones, the scowl and crane barge are moved from the beach staging area out to the jetty. This video shows the white crane unloading the stones onto the Salisbury jetty. An excavator with a claw waits for the crane to deliver the stone and then grabs it. The excavator moves the stone block to pile of stones further out on the jetty. This pile is being used by a second excavator to repair the jetty. You will notice that several black rubber mats are stacked up on the barge. The mats areused on top of the jetty to create a road surface for the excavators to work on. The video was taken from across the Merrimack River on the north end of Plum Island.
