A clean energy project in the east channel of the East River by Verdant Power of Manhattan. The original photos are from October, 2020, with two updated photos from October, 2021 at the bottom of this gallery.
Barge at left is for the rotating blue crane that raises and lowers the Turbine TriFrame on the barge at right.

An individual turbine.
Per the vendor, VerdantPower.com, "the turbines yaw (turn approximately 170 degrees) to generate power from the current flowing in the opposite direction."
Tall crane.
Note the scale of the ropes. Now let's have a look at what the turbine looks like after a year of being in the East River. The two photos below are from October, 2021.
The TriFrame appears to have been temporarily removed and taken away.
