Abstract
An artificial island structure which is constructed on land can be conveyed to and placed in a vertical standing position on an underwater base site by loading the island structure, while horizontal, on a floating buoyant carrier, transporting the carrier with island structure thereon to a large displacement buoyant vessel, journalling one end of the carrier to the vessel, transporting the vessel with carrier and island structure to a position over the underwater base site, ballasting the carrier until it swings to an upright position, suspending the upright island structure from the vessel, disconnecting the carrier from the island structure, and lowering the island structure onto the underwater base site.
