October 15, 2024 — Efforts began on Sunday to retrieve a large piece of a 350-foot turbine blade that broke off and sank to the ocean floor at the Vineyard Wind project in July.
Nantucket town officials said GE Vernova informed them at around 4 p.m. Sunday that the salvage work had begun earlier that day.
“In addition to the vessel tasked with retrieving the larger pieces of debris, an additional vessel has been deployed to recover any smaller fragments that may break off during the process,” says the town’s press release.
