Four storeys tall, 250ft long and 72ft wide, there’s little doubt that Google’s latest idea is a big one.
The only problem: nobody knows what it is yet.
The mysterious structure, swaddled in scaffolding and floating on a vast barge in San Francisco Bay, is composed of shipping containers welded together, painted white with several narrow slits for windows and topped with 12 spires that may be antennae.
The waterborne monolith has been linked to Google, yet the search giant has refused to confirm it owns the structure or reveal its purpose.
The barge, which is generating feverish speculation in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, is registered to a Delaware firm, By and Large LLC.
The mystery deepened this week with the discovery of another, near-identical barge 2,700 miles away on the east coast of the US, in Portland, Maine. This is said to have appeared in Portland’s harbour on 11 October and is also registered to By and Large. Full story...
