Heiligerlee, The Netherlands - Shipment time
During
the latter part of last week and the first days of this week, the Molema's
and their staff have been working very hard to load the containers for
shipment to Fulton.
Today, May 5th, newspaper articles will appear in most regional newspapers
in the northern Netherlands and in the Fulton Press about the shipment
later today of the containers.
Mrs. Ida Mulder, press photographer was sent by the editors of the regional
newspaper Nieuwsblad van het Noorden to document the process of
loading the containers. The Fulton Press is also using Ida's photographs.
Mr. Cornelis Molema explaining about the numbers the Molema's gave each
of the already containerized individual parts of the windmill for reconstruction
purposes.
And
again Mr. Cornelis Molema, standing inside one of the containers, and
holding a window frame.
As
soon as photographs come available of the transportation by truck and
the process of loading the trucks by means of a crane, they will be published
here too.
The trucks with the containers holding the complete octagon will depart
from the Molema workshop later this afternoon (May 5) and drive to the
City of Veendam Railway Distribution Center at some 20 miles from the
Molema workshop.
From
Veendam the containers go to Rotterdam Terminal by rail and will be departing
from Rotterdam harbor on May 8. The ocean container ship "Mor Canada"
is expected to arrive (via Montreal) at Railhead Chicago around May 29.
From here the containers are transported by truck to arrive in Fulton
on June 7, 1999.
