The 20-foot wooden structure weighs in at 3,000 pounds and is outfitted with 800 lobster-pot buoys, 1,000 lights and is topped by a giant metal lobster. Over 20 businesses and people pitched in with money, manpower and materials. Windjammer Emporium owner Mark Gimbel organized the construction procuring buoys from Bangor-based Mainely Buoys and ordering lights, Knickerbocker Group engineered and constructed the base, and Marden Builders owner Eric Marden used his bin lift to cover the high spots.
