When you happen to be one of the biggest companies in the world, do you think that people wouldn’t notice when you have a couple of barges floating off the coast? The company in question is Google, of course. And, in case you’re not up on current events, Google has now placed not one, but two barges on each coast of the U.S.
CNET’s Timothy Brandon broke the story back on October 25, which regarded a mysterious barge being spotted in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. Since then, another barge has appeared off the coast of Portland, Maine and people have been coming up with all sorts of theories. To make matters worse, Google has been extremely tight-lipped on what exactly its doing. The Big G has even gone as far to make everyone involved sign a very strict nondisclosure agreement – which includes the Coast Guard. Of course, this would spark all sorts of wild sci-fi speculation.
Until we get some sort of confirmation from Google, here are 11 facts you should know about these barges.
- The barge is 250 feet long, 72 feet wide, and 16 feet deep, and was built by C & C Marine and Repair in 2011 in Belle Chasse, LA.
- The barge is constructed of 40-foot interchangeable shipping containers that are stacked into a single rectangular structure — four shipping containers long, four containers wide, four containers high – which can be assembled and disassembled whenever Google wants.
- Early speculation was that the barges would be used as data centers. The data centers would use the water they are floating on to cool everything down. Google came up with a patent for such a center in 2009.
